I smell fish.

So the option would be to buy a '71 Cortina and transfer the running gear back into that and get hold of a Savage engine. Have you then got a Savage Cortina..... not in my book.

To quote Chick Murray I don't think much of that.

A Cortina Inastate -unless I'm missing something but it look like years of work to be done with an open budget to obtain a Cortina estate.(is the engine of special interest?)

If I had a classic Ford bent , I would buy this one off teh shelf & tidy it up ready to enjoy in the spring.

I liked the response to the question about it being just an estate with a v6. Did they deliberately assume the asker meant V5 not V6?

My 2p is that the seller is inviting trouble with this listing . . . . . . Original car had a new motor, then crashed and was subsequently rebuilt into a different body shell . . . . The only original bits left would apparently be the gearbox, interior trim and rear axle, so very much a Triggers broom

It's about as much a Savage as I am! And that response to the question has lost him at least one bidder.

The other one looks a good buy tho.
