Omg! I'm in love, I love the old Ford stuff. Is it a keeper?
 
My late brother Martin had one of those, in black. Lovely car.

Shame that. Be a great one to keep a few years. It'll keep creeping up in value. I suspect it's worth more than that now mate.

It was £25k when it came in the shop 18 months ago mate so probably nearer £30k now
 
Ford values are crazy. You can almost name your price for the right car. That is the right car.
 
Going to be great when finished, the 1600E was one of the few Fords which I liked.
 
My Dad had a MkII Cortina, this brings back many happy memories:thumbsup:

Originally 1300 put 1600 engine in it,1600E dash, wheels,
The lot , 1600E was my dream car but could never afford one!
One things for sure I can’t afford one now......!!!:wideyed::wideyed:
 
I used to own a lovely Ford MK IV Zodiac Exec 3.0 V6 Essex. Was a great car.. but about 12mpg killed me.. it had to go..
 
Looking great , is your paint shop going to re assemble or just the bodywork ?
 
Martin's did but it may have been an "option" , I don't know for sure Adrian.

I had an Escort 1300E and that had a vinyl roof.

Anyone else miss them

I had a Mk.1 Granada (Consul) in a very bright green. I put a vinyl roof on that to loose some green. Easy Job, did the "B" pillars too. At that time there was a company in Gainsborough who advertised a "spray on" version.
Just underseal actually, a bloody mess and a rip off.
