Unusual Cortina seen near Crewe

Looks factory , was there a P100 on the MK3 shape ?..... Never seen one before.

Built in South Africa IIRC.

Correct. Often seen on eBay and known locally as a "Bakkie" (in the same way a car-derived pick-up in Australia is a "Ute").

They had some Escort Mk3s built like that as well.

I have a feeling this stars in a Retro Rides thread

It was a Maserati Sebring, which was a Michelotti design, not a Farina one.

You'll get no criticism on the taste front from me.

Cheating slightly as it’s my own, but with the weather noticeably colder today it feels like winter is on its way, soon this will be unfortunately packaged away until better weather returns in the spring. Shame, it’s hardly been used this year.

Very clean - replacement for a similar 1983 model in petrol blue that I suspect was sold due to the imminent arrival of the dreaded ULEZ...
