Default MkII Cortina Advice

Hi

I am looking for a MkII Cortina and there are two which seem interesting to me. Does anybody know either car or have any observations for a "newbie"

The two are;

Thanks for the reply. I intend to use the car as a daily driver. Therefore, in my mind at least, a V6 would make for decent enough performance to run with most modern traffic.

Mine has wider arches at the rear and trimmed arches at the front and I'm using 8.5x15s at the rear and 7x15s at the front with no problems and it's really low. Sure you would get away with 7x15s with minimal effort.
