Chairman’s CommentsAs we enter the moment that we can can get outside again - get those cars up and running!! There are some interesting cars for sale in here this time, all fresh and ready to roll. By now most of us will have had at least one jab because we are all of a certain age so it’s time to inject the car with a bit of fun and get it on the road. Certainly last year proved useful for me with the 3.5 diff , working rev counter, all welding finally done, period headrests, correct seats, nice period Ford radio (just used the faceplate so it looks the part!), spruced up wheels, new tyres---now who has some hubs, discs and P16 calipers I can grovel for?!!!One of my other cars, which shall remain nameless as its not a Ford, got a new cat and Lamda sensor and was actually cheaper than some of the parts I see on eBay. Yes, if you want a laugh and to cheer you up just look at the prices of some things. My car is worth far more in bits than together but hey ho. Lets hope we can all meet up and play ‘top trumps’ with our spares at the show this summer, I am so looking forward to seeing everyone and I promise Bob that I will go easy on the Honeyed Jack Daniels this year.
Regards and stay happy

Editor’s CornerI hope everyone is keeping well and that you all enjoyed my first attempt of my second innings as editor. There’s a lot going on in the background regarding this years National Show and we should be able to bring you some definate news in the next issue.
I’ve been very fortunate to have a number of members sending in stories for you to enjoy. There’s a pretty amazing story regarding the car on the front cover including the reconnecting of an old owner with the current one on another continent. The grand total of Cortina shaped cars owned by one man is truly jaw dropping.
If you’d like to let the club know all about your car please send it in. If your not sure how to go about it, drop me a message and I’ll be happy to help.
I’ve owned my Cortina for over twenty years and all that time it’s been in the garage waiting for some attention. The part pictured was bolted to the transmission tunnel and I have often thought it must be something to do with the gearchange. There is nothing connected to it and I have a magic wand gear stick. I asked the question on Facebook and the only reply, from a very knowledgeable source, was “I’ve never seen one before.”Being in this fortunate position I thought I would ask a mega parts hoarder (I hope you don’t find that insulting DS). Bingo! “It’s part of a remote gear linkage. I have two complete ones in my garage.” So now I have to decide wether to invest in a complete unit as it’s very different to the usual one. Does anybody have one fitted to their car? If you do, I’d love to see it.

The Federation of British Historic Vehicle Clubs (FBHVC) has announced the appointment of Nigel Elliott to the Federation’s Legislation Team, in the role as Automotive Fuels Specialist, with immediate effect.
The FBHVC currently represents over 500 clubs, museums, independent and trade supporters encompassing a collective membership of over 250,000 historic vehicle enthusiasts. As the umbrella organisation for the historic vehicle movement in the UK, the Federation seeks to work towards defending the freedoms of historic vehicle owners, whilst also addressing the environmental impact of the community’s activities.
Nigel Elliott joins the Federation to take up what will be an increasingly important role in the coming years as the Federation’s focus fixes squarely upon ensuring combustion engine powered historic vehicles have a place to co-exist alongside electric vehicles on the roads of the future. The Federation sees the need to assess, study and understand the impact of changing fuel demands and technologies on the historic vehicle community as critical work in the coming years.
Nigel’s professional background has seen him enjoy a successful career working in engine and vehicle testing, and fuels product quality and development for a multi-national oil company. In 2012, Nigel set up a fuels quality consultancy. He is an active member of the British Standards Institute PTI/2 Liquid Fuels Committee as a co-opted expert, responsible for petrol, diesel and non-road fuel standards. Nigel was the Convener of the European Fuel Standards (CEN) Diesel committee and a long-term UK expert member of the Petrol Committee and has been heavily involved in the development of the Biodiesel and Ethanol standards and their implementation in road fuels.
This impressive professional background is set against a passion for historic vehicles and motorsport. Nigel is a keen hill-climber and supporter of Shelsley Walsh Hill climb. A member of numerous clubs, including the MAC, HDLCC, Bugatti Owners Club, HSA and BARC, Nigel competes in a 1979 Triumph TR7-V8 4.6 litre twin Turbo modified production car. Nigel has also owned a number of classic Range Rovers over the years and currently runs a ‘modern classic’ 2004 Jaguar XKR convertible.
Speaking on his appointment Nigel Elliott said, “I am looking forward to helping the historic vehicle community understand the challenges that we face regarding fuel quality and supply. Historic vehicles are very dear to my heart and so bringing my specialist professional knowledge built from 43 years of experience in the industry, I hope to contribute to the team tasked with preserving the freedoms of enthusiasts to continue to use and enjoy historic vehicles on UK roads.”
David Whale, FBHVC Chairman said, “The Federation and the historic vehicle community are going have to face the challenges of fuel supply and quality increasingly over coming years. Not only that but we will be required to put our points across to those in power with the backing of professional experience and expertise. We are looking forward to Nigel Elliott joining us and bringing those qualities to our existing team of highly capable volunteers. ”

Cortina Times10
It seemed a simple enough question from one of my grandsons but I soon realised I couldn’t give him the true answer straight away and decided to dig into my memory bank and work it out for him.It started 54 years ago when I bought a 1963 1500GT in pieces for £80 back in 1967. It had reputedly been an ‘International rally car’ and had been stripped down for repairs following an accident and never put back together. The registration book had been misplaced but the number began REP *** and I was told I would have to apply for a new book when the car was complete. Having collected all the parts and dropped them off in a friend’s body shop, the first thing he pointed out was although the bare bodyshell looked ready for paint, it was actually twisted from front to back and there was no way that the doors would fit, so this was a major setback. However all was not lost as a local salvage dealer had several Mk1 Cortina shells that had been replaced due to accident damage and after some bartering, I came away with two shells, one with a good front and one with a good rear. Two weeks later and I had a straight painted bodyshell, the only slight snag being it was a pre-aeroflow front end and an aeroflow back end, but all the panels fitted perfectly so that was of no consequence. Having put the car back together, I contacted the local Vehicle Licence department to tell them about the bodyshell change and they decided that it should be re-registered. I even had the opportunity to choose my own number and so DLG 500F hit the road in 1968, put together by myself and not requiring an MOT for another three years, those truly were the days!!
How many Cortinas have you actually owned grandad?
Cortina Times 11Cortina Times 11
I intended to do some rallying in the Cortina and the first event was The Grylls Trophy organised by the Rolls Royce Motor club in Crewe where I was an engineering apprentice at the time. Having won that event, I then tried doing some Autotests but the Cortina was too big to be competitive and probably for that reason, I then turned my attention to a genuine Allardette Anglia, that a guy at work was selling, so the Cortina had to go. I sold it to Brian Thorpe, a fellow apprentice, and thought that would be the last I would have anything to do with the car, that is until two twists of fate occurred over 50 years later.
The American connection
I am not a big Facebook fan but do appreciate the historic photos people put up on the various motor sport groups and about three months ago, I came across a photo of DLG 500F on The Golden Years of Rallying site. It was posted by Brian, the guy I had sold it to 53 years ago and so I immediately contacted him and found out that he had been living in America since the late 1970’s. He had got fond memories of the car, competing quite successfully in a few rallies which is why he posted the photo. He even went on a road trip to Greece in the car in 1970 with three friends. I asked Brian if he had any more photos of the car as the only one I had was in the rally above. He offered to not only dig some out but also to write about his rallying adventures and also driving overland to Greece.
Brian’s Rallying in DLG 500F
Ray asked me to write about my experiences with the Mk1. I have not seen Ray since we were at Rolls Royce Motor Division in Crewe around 1970. If not for Facebook we would never have reconnected.
I bought my Cortina GT (DLG 500 F) from Ray for about £150. He had it built from a 1965 rear and a 1964 front as I recall. In spite of that, it drove well. I rebuilt the engine, even though it didn’t need it, boring it out to 1650 and adding an A2 cam. Then I added a 4.4 diff. It went a little better after that!
I entered all the RRMC 12 car events of 1969/70 and even made driver of the year in 1970. On one rally in Wales, with Dave Kershaw navigating, he gave me the instruction straight for half a mile then right at tee. Unfortunately it was foggy, and I braked too late and smashed into a dry-stone wall. The light bar mid stabilizing bracket pushed through the radiator, and of course the five Lucas lights didn’t hold up well. I backed out of the demolished wall and drove on to the next control which was only half a mile away. The noise of the crash carried well in the quiet early morning hours and they said they
Cortina Times1212
heard us coming. We left the car there overnight and got a lift home from the control crew. I was out the next day with a scrapyard radiator and all was well again, although the car was a little bruised.
I continued with 12 car rallies and was constantly experimenting with the valves in the Mcpherson struts to make them last longer than they should. Front tires were a consumable and I only got 2000 miles out of one set. I won a few trophies in the 1970s.
Sometime later, I decided to repaint the car Positano yellow which I think was a Porsche colour. The stripe was lime green. I used a simple airless spray gun but proper coach paint. It turned out quite well with not too much orange peel.
The cost of competing as a driver became too much on an apprentice wage, so I switched to navigating.
I sold DLG500F and bought a 1963 Lotus Cortina. The A frame suspension was in the boot when I bought the car and leaf springs had been fitted. The car had the original aluminium doors, boot and bonnet. I seemed to have a penchant for rebuilding good engines and I did this on the twin cam. Time makes details a little fuzzy, but I remember the clutch thrust bearing was not adjusted properly and over a few weeks the crank thrust bearing wore away and gouged the crank thrust face. This time an engine rebuild was essential, not just for fun. I had the crank metal sprayed and ground and put it all together with new bearings. It ran great for the rest of the time I owned the car. The intake roar of the 40 DCOEs and the close ratio gearbox were a delight. I eventually sold it for £400 and have regretted it ever since.

Brian’s Road trip to Greece in Ford Cortina DLG500F
In the summer of 1970, three friends and I took DLG on a camping adventure to Greece. We passed through Germany, Austria, Yugoslavia and finally, Greece.
The Channel crossing was uneventful, and we proceeded through Belgium. Halfway through Germany the ‘no charge’ light came on and it turned out to be a broken alternator belt. Needless to say, I hadn’t packed any spares. We limped into a small town and went to the nearest pub for help. They found us a room for the night and one of their customers took our battery home to put it on a charger overnight. I don’t remember how we obtained a new belt, but it obviously happened. The next morning our fully charged battery reappeared and we were on our way again. Those people were so friendly.
We continued through the rest of Germany and were in awe of the scenery in Austria. At that time there were only two major paved roads in Yugoslavia and on the way down to Greece we took the inner road through Zagreb and Belgrade.
After about an hours driving in Yugoslavia, there were armed soldiers directing certain cars into a layby. I think they were mostly foreign plated cars. A soldier came up to me and said we were speeding. I tried to deny it, but he wasn’t listening. The “fine” was a few pounds and I was glad to pay up and get out of there.
As we neared Belgrade the rear brakes started smoking. The Cortina had
Cortina Times14
never been used to this much load with four people and all our gear, and the right rear wheel bearing started to fail. We found a campsite and I dropped off the other three.
I had just seen a Ford sign on the top of a hill and made my way there in the hope that they could fix the bearing. In England it would pass as a back street garage, but in Yugoslavia it was one of the best. Several mechanics were working on cars in the street as I pulled up. No-one spoke English and I tried to explain the problem with sign language and pointing at the problem area. One mechanic immediately knew what was needed and came out with a jack and words like “I fix”. He jacked up the car and in no time removed the half shaft. I started to worry when he put the bearing in a vice and cracked off the loose outer race. I had no idea if he had a replacement and was panicking that I now had no means of continuing. He could see I was concerned, and he smiled and went back into his parts store. After what seemed like half an hour, he came back with a bearing in his hand. He couldn’t find an exact replacement, but the one he picked out was from an Opel Kadett. It had the same ID and OD but was slightly wider. He fitted it using washers to space out the retaining plate. I paid him five pounds, thanked him profusely, and I was on my way.
Cortina Times 15
We continued into Greece, stopping at Thessalonica and Athens to see all the sights. Then we continued to Kalamata in the Peloponnese. Since this was all of 50 years ago many details have faded from memory. On the way home, we took the coast road in Yugoslavia, but to get there, we had to traverse 50 miles of unmade road (also known as a “white”) to rally enthusiasts. It was awful and at one point several kids threw rocks at us.
The coast road took us through the beautiful city of Dubrovnik. The Cortina behaved admirably for the rest of the trip and we arrived back in England after a delightful three weeks.
The ‘International Rally car’ connection
Thank you for those stories Brian, I am sure Cortina owners can relate to the shortage of spares you found yourself in back in 1970, thanks to the Mk1 Cortina Club the situation is much better today.
I recently inherited a number of rallying books published in the mid 1970’s, one of which is called ‘Castrol Rally Manual 3’ and one of the chapters in the book was written by Roger Willis who was the Castrol Competitions Manager at the time. In it, he talks about how he got involved with motorsport and took a liking to rally navigating and included a photo of a very sad looking Mk1 Cortina with number 32 on the door that he had been in when it rolled on the Welsh International rally. *****
The driver’s name quoted with the mishap was Mike Bower and this started to get me thinking, as I knew that a previous owner of my very first Cortina
Cortina Times16
had been a Mike Bowyer from Welshpool, could this be the same person? I had a friend who had an out of print book titled ‘The Welsh’ which was all about the history of the event and it confirmed car 32 on the event held on 10/12th December 1965 was indeed crewed by Mike Bowyer and Roger Willis. So was this my old Cortina pre its second life or not, the photo in the book doesn’t show the registration number but there are some interesting distinguishing features like the roof mounted spotlight and the twin Cibie Oscar driving lamps on the front? I then decided to post the picture on the various rally car Facebook sites and got quite a lot of response but no photos unfortunately. The leads that I did get indicated that Mike Bowyer had done quite a few rallies in that car and some had not ended well, so I had to dig further. The break through came when I found this photo on Ebay. *****
It was advertised as -
FORD CORTINA GT 1965 TULIP RALLY PHOTOGRAPH PICTURE MIKE BOWYER WILLIAMS REP ***
Cortina Times 17
and sure enough, the roof light and Cibie driving lamps are there and the full number plate, so yes, it was the same car as the photo in my Castrol book and the basis for what became DLG 500F.
I am still building a history for the car but by reference to Autosport, Motorsport and Motoring News of the period, what I do know is it took part in;
1) The Welsh International Rally January 1965, with Hugh Hughes andended up going off the road on Epynt.
2)The Tulip International Rally April 1965, with Barrie ‘Whizzo’ Williams codriver, got stuck in snow and went out of time.
3)The Kent Rally June 1965, with Tony Mason (Roger Clark’s navigator),ended on the roof in Mid Wales.
4)The Welsh International December 1965, with Roger Willis, rolled on theMyherin stage.
So as you can see, with such a hard life, it was no wonder the car needed another shell when I bought it.
Oh, and how many Cortinas is it? Well I have six in the fleet at the moment and of course two of these are promised to the grandsons when they old enough to drive them. And the total is 78 made up of 59 Mk1s and 19 Mk2s, of which there were 18 Lotus’, 19 GTs, 3 Estates, and six 1600Es 3 of which were 2 door cars.
Cortina Times18
As a new club member I feel it is only right and proper that I should stand up and announce to you all, “My name is Graham and I am a Cortinaholic!” I do not seek forgiveness but I hope I am now amongst those who will grant me some understanding. Some recent self-analysis has revealed that the beginnings of this addiction are deeply rooted in my childhood.
Let’s face it, growing up and living in south east Essex as I do, I was always going to be a Ford man. When I was a kid, everybody’s dad worked for Ford or at least knew someone who worked at any one of the several plants in the area. Everyday my walk to school took me past Central Garage in Hadleigh, a Ford dealer who would display any new launch model in the Crown pub car park over the road.I remember the launch of the Classic, I’ll never forget climbing into the cab of the new ‘D’ series lorry on my way home and prior to that of course, the launch of the Cortina; I was seven.
During wet lunch hours at senior school, the geography teacher would show promotional films from different companies. What impressionable pubescent schoolboy could forget the Pirelli film “The Tortoise and the Hare?” It featured this attractive woman with long flowing hair driving down the length of Italy in a white E type Jaguar. She was being followed by an Italian Romeo driving a huge Pirelli lorry, all this to the soundtrack of the Spencer Davies Group and Keep on Running.
My name is Graham and I am a Cortinaholic!
Cortina Times 19
(Still one of my all-time favourite tracks…I wonder why?) Sorry, I digress…Other films shown included “Nine Days in Summer,” a great Ford film all about the DFV Formula 1 engine and then one day the clincher…”The Year of the Cortina.” All those great shots of my hero Jim Clark three wheeling around Oulton Park. Afterwards the teacher handed out copies of the 1965 Castrol Achievements book. The inside front cover showed a picture of driver Sir John Whitmore and entrant Alan Mann kneeling beside the glorious championship winning Lotus Cortina KPU392C…I was hooked!
No surprise then, when as a seventeen year old Ford apprentice, I paid £170 for my first MK1 Cortina, a grey 1200 registered HLE217C. Two years later came a 1966 1500GT. It was fantastic, navy blue with a white flash, no radio but a tape player with the Supremes Greatest Hits kindly left in it. I still recall sitting at traffic lights on the way home from purchasing it, Diana Ross was giving it her best and I thought to myself how cool I was as I sang “Oooh Oooooh Baby Love.” What a dipstick I must have looked! Although not the best, this was always my favourite Cortina. It was in this car that my girlfriend and I eloped to get married. Where was that? Paris? Gretna Green? No…being the old romantic that I am…it was Grays registry office! I know how to sweep a girl off her feet!
In the following years there were two more Mk1s, another GT and a standard 1500.After that, this Cortinaholic was on the wagon as it were. It was all Transits, Escorts and Sierras with the odd MK5 Cortina thrown in.That last bit should have rung alarm bells, the temptation of another MK1 was beginning to materialise but prices were starting to soar.
Cortina Times20
Four years ago I saw a 1500 Super for sale, dark blue with a white flash, similar to our wedding car. I summoned all my willpower and didn’t go after it. I deeply regretted it, where are you going to find another one in those colours? I had even saved the pictures from that original listing on my laptop, I would look at them now and again, punishing myself over and over.
Finally we come to the week before last Christmas, the very same blue and white Mk1 is up for sale once more. Not only is it available again but no longer is it located the other side of the country, it’s literally just five miles away, a considerable bonus during lockdown. There would be no concerns about trailering it back along a motorway only to be stopped by a traffic officer asking why I was so far from home. “But I had to buy it!” would not go down well with the boys in blue. It is unlikely they would understand the power and the hold this addiction can have over you. Is being a Cortinaholic a recognised medical condition that grants you leniency in the eyes of the law? Put yourself in my place…how often do you get a second chance? The mental torture is unbearable…do you let your heart and your strange affliction rule your head? Do you try and forget it and then live with the regret for years afterwards? Please ask yourself…what would you do?
I confess I’ve fallen off the wagon…I bought it. As it was delivered onto our drive, Chris my wife of forty five years said “I feel eighteen again!” Priceless!!!
Cortina Times 21
Now take the car for a run …... nah! Its now mid February and the weathers atrocious with snow, rain, frost, wind, salty roads etc., oh yes and flooding.This was fun as we had torrential rain on and off for two days and it wasn’t until the next door neighbour knocked on my door in the evening in his wellies that I realised the drive was under a foot of water – ‘man the pumps’ I cried – the water was gushing down the drive like a river and heading straight towards the crown jewels in the garage, (no not them)
The continuing saga of Paul and his green and white thing . Part 18(By Paul Battye).Hi Club Members.
We last left you with all secrets revealed and I suppose you’re wondering about the big drive out after 42 years of sitting in a barn practically in bits - well, we will get to that in a minute. The first thing is to let you know about the insurance saga – oh no!! You’re saying ‘surely that went OK’, nope it didn’t. I started with my local insurance brokers that I have dealt with for the last 30 years, twenty of them insuring classic cars I’ve owned. The stubborn sausages would not do an agreed valuation! After spending time sending emails, pictures, valuation reports etc., they said on their last email that unless I can show three recent sales of Lotus Cortinas’ at the agreed price I was asking for it would be out of the question – so I told them to go stuff themselves in not too many words (that did feel good) Next!!I rang Lancaster Insurance after 10 minutes on the phone job done, agreed valuation accepted and insured, why oh why has this car thrown up so many sagas from start to finish? I’m thinking to myself maybe there’s a thirteen somewhere involved with the car – 13 wheel nuts no? 13 on the number plate no? Ah ha ! Got it! The B reg is a 13 in disguise! no! now I’m clutching at straws here … well I’m baffled now and as you can tell very superstitious, and to top the whole issue off this car waited 42 years for the Covid factor as well – doh! Have I finished moaning? Yep!
Cortina Times22
so panic stricken Paul collapsed (no not really) as I opened the garage the freshly restored Lotus was on tip toes thinking I’m sure I’m a car not an amphibious vehicle – what could I do? As luck would have it, a few years ago I was given an industrial pump to fix – well I fixed it but some how I forgot to return it and you know what people say possession is 9/10ths of the law – so I kept it LOL! This was a life saver as the water was duly pumped back onto the road to make it somebody elses problem and it was, the guy next to my neighbour somehow got flooded and his garage was adorned with a Ferrari Scaglietti (oh what a shame! yeah not interested).So that was a another road block but as I look at it it’s been laid up for 42 years so another couple of months will be OK!.
A couple of weeks later I woke up to see glorious sunshine ( a bit nippy though) out of the window on a Saturday and totally out of excuses I had to do it. So battery connected, some more fuel in the tank, she started after a fashion (standing far too long but that gave chance for the oil pressure to get up). Now I’m shaking like a leaf awaiting for all the cars, dog walkers, next door neighbour to vanish so I could take the car for a blast, well a tootle actually, and guess what? Nothing happened on the 30mph trip around the village, up through all the gears and down again, steering fine, brakes good, horn (horny) so that was it. I pulled her back into the drive so I could dribble over her, now where are the dog walkers, next door neighbours, cars, to see my creation? – gone!! nobody - ugh !!So I go into the house to brief the wife and look at the video she took of me leaving the house. Ten minutes later with a boot full of tools in the misses car, so she could do emergency repairs, we’re both off for our long journey (to the next village and back) – 2 miles.This wasn’t so uneventful as the prop shaft got the - ‘shaking like leaf feeling’ that I had earlier at 50mph. Oh never mind as I nursed her home I said one minor problem ain’t bad when you think the extent of time this car has been in bits. So I was thinking maybe I will be finished on this saga but it does look like we could be writing about a few more hiccups before we finish. Oh yeah and by the way, if anybody has not experienced driving a MK1 Cortina developed by Lotus it’s got to be one of the things on your bucket list as I’m still on a high from my drive in the old girl.
Stay calm and keep safe – see you on saga 19.

Hi, I am a club member and felt the need to spout a few lines! (Or forward an opinion)I think cancelling the National last year was a bad decision and was done so without careful thought. You will most likely respond with insurance costs etc but haven’t we got enough in club funds for just such a situation? I would have paid more on the gate or extra up front gladly for such a scenario...Plus, I’d say everyone in the club are an educated bunch who would have easily complied with covid regs. I did the Old Ford Rally at the British Motor Museum which was superbly organised. The show was a fantastic success. Also, I’m not on Facebook so is my membership fee even worth the money anymore!!The club’s site is a nightmare to login to and surely is just a token gesture for us Luddites. Finally, Mike Jordan ,we are all aware of us chaps and chapesses gradually pegging it, after all, not many people can master a Model T...I have not meant to offend.
No offence taken, we are all entitled to our opinions.The decision not to run the National last year was not taken lightly but following many meetings it was a unanimous decision by the committees of all three clubs involved.The organisation for the National begins early in the year and as the Covid situation was unfolding it left us not many choices, we needed to bear in mind that a good number of the organising committee are in the vulnerable age group - as well as a lot of the attendees. The other main issue was that we would have had to find another venue since Stratford Racecourse were not accepting bookings. Although costs were not the major consideration we do have to spend the clubs money wisely and if we had been forced to cancel due to Government legislation only weeks prior to the event, the loss to the club would have been considerable and difficult to justify.
I realise that this may have been a disappointment to many members but the safety of ourselves and the attendees must be the major driving force, I am surprised that the event at Gaydon went ahead since social distancing and sanitizing must have been compromised.
You will be pleased to know that we are planning this year’s event and fully intend to go ahead but we must still bear in mind that there is no guarantee that it will actually happen. I am fairly optimistic that with Covid infections decreasing, and the vaccination programme going well, they will continue to do so which should allow us all to meet up by August but the Government roadmap out of lockdown is subject to change as they see fit, might all happen earlier but if the Brazil variant becomes rampant...........
I hope you will find the new website an improvement, it should make life easier for everyone and I believe most of the bugs have now been shaken out of it, if you are still having issues please let us know, we will do our best to help.

I am looking to sell my 1966 4 door Cortina Automatic owned by 2 families over the past 25 years. It has won many awards and is like new. I might also consider selling my Lotus Cortina which again is immaculate. Both cars are in standard trim. Cars are in Ely Cambridgeshire.
If really interested in either car please telephone 01353 662928. I do not do email or any other fancy modern methods of communication!!
Regards

BACKCHATHi folksJust read about a radical new revised Mondeo that is being planned by Ford which is set to woo crossover geeks, as well as hatch and MPV geeks. It is being designed henceforth to appeal to a very wide audience. Now the Mondeo followed on from the Sierra which followed on from the Cortina!! Sooooo, wouldn’t it be great if they revived the name!!! Fiat have done it, we still have the Mini and Vauxhall recently brought back the Viva. Only 2,400 Mondeos were even sold in the UK last year---as opposed to making over a quarter of a million Mk1 Cortinas back in the 60s, so things have to change. If any of you work for Ford or have contact there, why not suggest it. They plan to launch in 2022---guess what year that is for us!!!?
