You are a lucky man to have got a mk1 and a mk2 Lotus Cortina. The mk1 looked the worst but the mk2 looked in better condition? How far have you got with the restorations?

No one could steal them unless they,ve got a crane to remove them lol There reps and it was me that took the pic

I'd say it's just a bucket now. Who knows for sure, and maybe a project binky style resto could be done, but who'd be brave or mad enough to try.

Shit picture, I know, but I only saw it in passing from a window of a building I was in as I was leaving. Mk2 Escort in a yard. Looks like it's been there a while!

I recognise that car a mile off, confirmed by the stickers!

Fair play, deserves to be saved!

Thanks, won't be an easy task since the old owner (previous to Tony) let it get in a pretty bad way. Will start a resto thread once on it soon. John it's Imperial blue, but it was originally crystal blue when it was new.

Here's another for now...

Hate seeing old fords going to waste, I have seen pictures on facebook of a load of skylines and stuff sat rotting outside of the HKS factory in Japan, I could get them on here if anyone wants a look (thought I'd ask as this is a ford thread)

No its not me I'm afraid, its on a facebook page I'm on, they are believed to be outside of the HKS factory in Japan. Former development cars or something, not fords but its still a shame to see.
