It had been modified by its previous owner to prove a point i.e. that the normally Pinto powered manual could accommodate a Ford Cologne 2.8 V6 and autobox. It was appalling, although I sort of liked it when it decided to work for a day or two. It had poor ground clearance, was nose heavy and the Cortina electrics fought a nightly battle with the German electronics, usually resulting in a flat battery by the morning. There's a photo of mine somewhere on here. Edited April 4, 2022 by RayMK Could only find a shot of the interior. garethj 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Japanese rotary tuners RE Amemiya fitted a 260 horsepower 12A unit into one of these in the early 80's, and it was able to reach a top speed of 240kph (150mph) with a curb weight of 490kg!
