You sir have great taste, I particularly admire your penchant for tasty cortinas (I would happily own any of them), plus the Capri, which I normally don't have much time for.

Still looks good...I suspect the fact that it's wet helps.

[Mercdan68]

pics make it look good but alas its not going anywhere, its been in my mates family since new, and he will never sell, ive tried!!

[Deleted]

loving the pics , judging by the amount of tinas another one wont be too long !

[SmokeEm]

I'm ok thanks Dan - Love some of those Tina's - I've been looking for a good Auto Ghia for ages now with no luck Slight change of tact for me now I think. Hopefully something with a V8 will be on the drive before too long...

[Mercdan68]

Thread resurrection ,any ford people know what happened to my gold Sierra YGJ seems it hasn't been on the road since I sold it
Less than 15,000 miles when I sold it ,it must be hidden away? Sold it to a fella from Milton keynes

[Danny]

Very nice collection there Dan, i had a couple of mk5 cortinas inc a 2 door, will post the pics tomorrow 

[pistonpopper]

Great collection of photos mate, that metallic brown cortina does it for me, it's perfect, I wouldn't change a thing, except maybe the door count! Over two years since your original post, you must've had a few cars since then, how about updating it a bit!

[Mercdan68]

Yep needs updating..the ford thing has long gone for me tho, too overpriced imo
