Ebay Cortina
Mk 3 Cortina still on the road. 2.0 automatic too expensive to be a donor though but still nice cars.
yours, Pete
I went into the RSPCA office the other day. It was so small you could hardly swing a cat in there.

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........

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

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

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.
