Ford did sell a two tone Cortina, known as a Cortina Crusader, a mk 5 iirc.

This is a good example, the car looks so much better than a single coloured car, the Healey is not my car but the white and and blue look, IMHO, a lot better than blue on its own.

The driver is beyond help however

clap That deserves acknowledgement as nobody else seems to have noted it!
I only realised because that's one nickname I got called in the late 60s and 70s.

I've never bought a single 'two-tone' car in my life, but many of my cars ended up 'two tone', pro painted and ones painted by me.

I missed it the first time.

I used to have a company that rented out 40 odd Ford Mondeos to private hire drivers, this was in the days when taxi drivers used to sound their horns and wave to passengers to come to the car, one bloke was Egyptian, he called himself Tootandcomein,

Not as funny as Two Tone Car Man
