As my first loves will always be MKII's here's a couple of mine from years gone by. The white one was completely built by me with Stg1 V6, Holly 4-barrel, 3-litre capri II box and rear axle. I was about 20 at the time. Run just under 16 at Santa Pod.
Vauxhall twin-lights and mk2 Escort flashers
Bought this Corsair just for the engine for the Cortina
I bought the red Lotus as you see it, drove it for a year - very disappointing - so sold it for a profit. got about £1,200 in 1990 or so IIRC.
Please don't tell me that 25 years later this is now worth £20k

Vacuman. You have also had some nice cars. Did the Corsair have the 3.0 Essex V6 in it? I had stage 3 heads , different cam, rocker gear, Holley 4 barrel and a custom made twin exhast system on my Mk1 V6 Capri.
When I had my Lotus Cortina I bought a new big valve Lotus engine for it and it was also one of the first to have electronic ignition fitted. It was a quick car but not as brutal as my Uren Savage! Look at how much the Mk2 Lotus Cortinas are worth now,£20k or more is what a good one will set you back now!

Mark V8 Proper old school Fords !! Both very nice cars.The Consul Classic was and still is iMO up there with the best. The one you had was registered on Isle Of Wight. Did you live there or just buy it from there?
The ex Uren Savage v8 must have been a head turner as well. Those were the days!!!

The guy that originally built the Classic Consul came from the Isle of Wight, pic was taken in the late 1980's as I'm an old git

There was a bloke who had a Consul Classic which he had modified and I remember being so jealous of his twin 40 dcoe side draught Webers!!! Two a penny now on most modified classic Fords but back then there were not many people who could afford them.
Been a Ford man ever since.
