1981 FORD CORTINA

Features:

1981 Ford Cortina XR6 3.0 Saloon. Genuine factory built vehicle which we brought in to the UK in 2020. We sold it to a customer of ours who set about it and carried out a full nut and bolt restoration. The results are stunning and this car has picked up trophies at almost all of the shows it has attended. It was invited onto the Meguliars Stand at the NEC Classic Car show in 2021. The owner has spent fortunes on it including a Rik Wood rebuilt engine. The car starts runs and drives as it should and will turn heads wherever it goes. Its not cheap but try finding one, let alone building one to this standard.Body - Genuine South African XR6 with 5 link back axle set up.
