Hi all, ive been browsing the forum for a long time, but only jsut got around to signing up!

Here are a few pictures of my 'classic' cortina mkV, a very clean example I like to think.

It is in fact going up for sale soon, so if anyone is interested, or thinks they know someone who might be, please get in touch!

Enjoy!

I was looking at buying one of these a while back, one of my childhood fav's. I have lovely memories of driving around with my dad in his beige (horrific colour by modern standards!) auto one, what a car.

Yours looks brilliant smile

I had a W reg 2.0 GLS, the last of my Cortina family numbering about 18 or 19, love em.
Yours is a credit to you sir, lovely to see one kept so clean.

I'll bet there are very few left in such good condition in the UK.

Now that brings back memories! Spent most of my younger years in Cortina's. Very nice example.

Now that takes me back....

My Dad had a burgundy MkV with Revolution wheels back in the day.

Don't see many of them about nowadays. Very nice

Echo all the above. That is very nice.

My 1st car in '88 was a '79 2L GL. I loved it that car.
i've always wanted to buy another, fit a YB and call it a Costina, but keep it looking stock, after all the YB was based on the old Pinto.

Good luck with the sale, i hope the new owner retains it's condition.

Thanks for all the comments! I will be sorry to see it go, but I must move onwards and upwards!

It will be in the for sale section very soon.

Thanks again!
