Mk 3 Cortina still on the road. 2.0 automatic too expensive to be a donor though but still nice cars.

nicest shape of all the cortinas, that ones to good to break, just needs some TLC

I had one...many years ago....

I called it Big Bertha ...... it just wallowed/bounced round corners like a pudding! .......

I much preferred my MK2 and MK1........

Fozzie

I had one no sorry two of them, one was a 1.6L and the other was a 2 litre GXL which i thought was cool sadly

Both were like colanders due to panels underneath from floor to footwell lapped the wrong way badly welded and no sealant.

Must have ben one of the worst cars ford ever made, most were smashed up filming the sweeney or banger raced

yeah the mkIII rusted about the worst of the lot, I looked at buying one about 3 years ago and gave up, couldn't find a decent one.

That would be because everyone was buying them up as donors.

Here's a mates when done for a wedding .It's running a 6.2ltr small block chevy v8! managed a 13.1 sec at santa pod he had to 'feather ' it off the line because of the std back axle !!

Its a classic. My brother had one, which was pimped to death. A bloke in a wheelchair once raced him from the traffic lights in Wakefield City Centre. PMSL.

It was like a sofa on wheels in the back seat.

that wedding car is just gorgeous
