Bought this car over a month ago and just picked it up the other day! came from a friend of mine who has had the car since 2008 and done nothing with it! 28k miles from new and still on the original tyres from the factory! my mate had plans for the car but after a few years of annoying him i eventually ended up with the car! Bit of a shame really because a woman reversed into the passenger door and the rear arch took a knock as well but as my dad and brother are time served painters the bodywork isnt an issue for me at all plans are to fix the arch, fit a new door and just give it a good scrub lol. car is totally original apart from a stainless exhaust! it wouldnt surprise me if the window wipers arent original lol its just timewarp condition for its age! sorry about the pics but the car has a flat battery but when i get time il get a new battery and get more photos!

 

Very nice.. So few original ones left now

 

Super jealous

 

i say keep it original your choice though

 

always nice to see a car from my youth. Fella near me is restoring a raider r5gtt

 

Very tidy!
Definitely keep it original!

 

Nice 5 gt turbo mate,brings back such good memories they do.

 

Defo staying standard folks! I'm not even tempted to up the boost! I'm gonna get it as clean as I can and take her to some shows! Glad you's like it cheers

 

I'd love that

 

Love that!

 

Cheers pal I love that cortina in your sig!

 

Cool car.There used to be loads flying about when i was younger.Come to think of it,its the same with the old fords too.

 

There's none around here at all! Always fancied one and it's another car ticked off the bucket list lol

 

lovely example, and the best colour

 

Very nice!

Don't see many around these days...

 

Cheers! I'd consider a swap right now being as mine still isn't running

Agree, love Tungsten Grey. And silver.

 

Nice, bet the plate is worth a few quid too

 

Very nice mate

 

Ha ha ive never owned a cortina before! love the retro fords! ive got a 2.8 mk3 capri sitting ready to be returned to her former glory but thats in the cue with everything else in my life lol

 

wish the plate came with the car lol but it wasnt part of the deal! its meant to be worth 5k
