Ford Cortina 2.0GL

ETA : Could a mod change the title to ''Various Fords - Picture Heavy''

Hi Guys.

I thought it was about time i uploaded pics of our collection, i am only 16 but have a massive interest in Fords. So here are a few pictures of our private collection.
I say our as my Dad owns them legally but i help to maintain them and I eventually will get my hands on them as they are never going to be sold.

Hope you enjoy, any questions just ask.

All cars in the pictures are in our ownership.

This is my Dads 1981 Mk5 Ford Cortina 2.0GL.

We have owned the car for about 5years and it is part of a private collection.
The sides of the car have been resprayed due to laquer peeling, and it has been done to a very high standard.
No expense is spared in maintaining it.

Now a few pictures.

Liking the Cosworth and Granana too. Not so much the newer ones if I'm honest, but I'm into older cars

Is the Mini yours too ?

My first car after passing my test was a Mk V Cortina 1.6 GL. Great for wet roundabouts!!!!

Its amazing to me how many of those things I recognize as completely different models here in the states!

I admit to being ignorant to European fords, but is that Cossie Grenada a V6? I've never seen an intake manifold like that on the CosFords I've worked with.

Yep, it's a V6. Same base engine (Cologne) as the earlier one but with Cosworth 24v heads. Made about 240bph IIRC.

Hi Ross,

I see you're a big Ford fan with some nice cars there .

I have to ask though, do you like Skylines too or is your name (RB26DETT) just a coincidence?

Hi Duncan,
Yes i do like Skylines hence the username.
We don't have any but when i am the age to be able to afford a Skyline I would love a MidNite purple R33.

Good choice.. best colour for a Skyline

I wondered if you were into Skylines too
