Those Mk1 Cortinas are a thing of beauty, had a 1200 Deluxe 2 door, pre-airflow in about 1984. It was the early one with 'Consul' on the bonnet, bloody tidy too.

Circa 1976 I brought a 1600DL from a scrapyard for £30, bodily great, it's got some electrical issues the guy said.
It drove like a dream compared to my former car, I think the Cortina was my second car, and I thought all was well...until the first evening I was driving and turned on the headlights.....and the engine cut out. Turn the lights off..and the engine would kick back into life. So, it was a daytime driver only. Shame, I didnt keep it long but that was the ONLY Ford I ever enjoyed owning.

Did use to like the old Fords, had every 'Mk' of Cortina except the Mk2, couldn't afford one now. Even Mk3 Capris have gone through the roof, sold a dog rough 3.0S manual in about 1986 for about £300, iirc. Be worth ridiculous money now!
