Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk 3 of my mates worked at Ryton and were sponsored through Coventry Polytechnic, and I shared a house with 2 of them, one of whom was my best man. The rear glass window was a major problem IN the factory. The fitters broke a couple or 3 every day. Union tried to say it was a safety issue. IIRC, the glass is unsupported, but has a great weight of metal attached to the bottom.of it, so if you slam the boot, or try to twist it to fix the panel gaps you can easily break it. Plus it's curved so who knows what residual stress it holds in Its structure. The AX has a really cheap bit of plastic attached to bottom of a flat piece of glass and the Suzuki SC100 and the Volvo.C30 wre just a piece of glass. georgeinabz 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Remspoor Posted August 4, 2021 Share Posted August 4, 2021 Another Ford Cortina. This time a Mk4 and located in The Netherlands. https://www.autowereld.nl/ford/cortina/1600-l-mooie-staat-1977-34939860/details.html Advert states previous restoration. Only travelled 19.379 km* See a tide line, engine size added to the front wings, and what looks like a non-standard choke. Ls did not have vinyl roofs as standard. I expect there is more "issues" waiting to be discovered when viewing it. € 16950.00 Tenmil Socket 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnthonyG Posted August 4, 2021 Share Posted August 4, 2021 I wonder if it started out as a Taunus and they turned it into a Cortina to benefit from crazy English Ford nutters. The wing badges are probably the dealer or a mad giffer owner, but the vinyl roof could well be a period extra. I’m fairly sure NL got German built/badged Fords after 1970. They did get Cortina Mk1/2s though, and they sold well. carburettor 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So this is a 1965 car with the larger rear lights, grille, bumpers etc and later doors with wind up windows but without the large “bins” and it has the later door locks with lovely aftermarket aluminium door pulls. Also, I’ve never heard anyone say anything good about 80’s cars and panel gaps. sounds like a ringer to me too!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AnthonyG Posted August 6, 2021 Share Posted August 6, 2021 That Dutch Wikipedia page is great. I love the first sentence on the Transcontinental truck ‘de transcontinental flopte’ 😆 - a succinct summary in just three words. I didn’t know it assembled Mustangs in the mid 1960s though, that is a prime bit of Ford trivia. Crackers and Matty 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Remspoor Posted August 7, 2021 Share Posted August 7, 2021 The Dutch are know for being straightforward. I do hate it that Wiki publishes different information in different languages. The one about the Amsterdam factory does not have a English page it goes straight to Ford Europe. That page has nothing about The Dutch factory. Nether does the European languages of the same page. I did learn interesting facts when I read the Dutch page. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
