That Cortina is stunning .

Just read that issue of Retro Ford, awesome car.. the missus is now on my case to replace the beetle with a cortina!!

[soad]

Cortina looks ace, engine bay so simple and uncluttered compared to modern stuff

[Disco You]

They're both very nice. I'm wondering why you'd spend £1800 on a catalytic converter though...

[MrDarkBlack]

I think you might have been looking for THIS?

I love the Cortina....it's got a great stance!

[wackojacko]

OMG I fudging love your collection !

The Cortina is just amazing !

Seen the M3 for sale the other day (very nice) I'm trying to persaude wackojacko SNR to go halves as a track car...

[Marcus R]

The Cortina is gorgeous! Lovely motor!

[rumple]

that tina is stunning, getting really rare now

[Chunkychucky]

That looks like a nice tidy Tina shell. How are you getting on with the 2000e ratios? I've got a 1200 deluxe 4 door at the moment, not sure whether to sell on or kit out with the Lotus twin cam and "bullet" gearbox in the garage...

Your M3 is awesome too, remember reading about it in a BMW mag a month or two back.

[NickMexicos]

Thanks for your comments Guys , The 2000e Bullit gearbox is great makes all the right noises and ratios are good too , Gearchange is the best in any old ford , get the Lotus in ya bay and the bullet Box behind it fella

Haha! Mate, I would if it was a 2 door, but because it's a 4 door I dunno... We'll see! Yours is lovely though chap, might have to buy the magazine!
