No, well I didn't suspect for one minute you had confused met blue with red black white or grey. Be worth stoopid money i'd imagine, not seen one for 20 years. Was yours a 1988 E/F reg?

XR anorak alert here but I think you might have had another very rare special release colour then, azure blue after The Fourth Protocol film with Pierce Brosnan, In 1986 Ford released a few in azure apparently but personally never seen one in the flesh.

JeeExEll Posted July 13, 2019 Share Posted July 13, 2019 Yes, it's him. 3- tone colour scheme including brown vinyl roof (with fully vinyl buttresses), now that's magic. I like it, a lot. A very early one. He crashed it on New Year's Day 1976 (true). Essex V6, inconsistant, Amishtat and 3 others 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Parky Posted July 13, 2019 Share Posted July 13, 2019 Daniels there modelling the original Autoshite racing colours. Thought about this thread the other day at Canary Wharf. Walking up the ranks of exec prestige makes it was depressing. Grey, black, black, White, grey, silver, black, black, grey repeat ad Infinitum. And then.....a red Focus. Missing wheeltrim, pogweaseled paint, filthy, dented. Best car in there EssDeeWon, JeeExEll and BorniteIdentity 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Garythesnail Posted July 21, 2019 Share Posted July 21, 2019 I also confess to having a roadworthy one of these - not a massive amount of 'colour' but you can't really miss it.

smellypoo Posted August 11, 2019 Share Posted August 11, 2019 There are some absolute gems on here. I'm going to put this one up here, as it's been well received on a for sale thread - Verdigris is a pretty rare Ford colour, seems to suit this car though; I've always been quite fond of Phoenix Yellow on the E46 BMW M3, I really think this shape carries the colour quite well; and for nostalgic reasons, Dad used to have a MK5 Cortina 2.0GL, just like this one (although I can't remember the name of the shade of blue); Tenmil Socket, adw1977, JeeExEll and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JeeExEll Posted August 11, 2019 Share Posted August 11, 2019 Mk5 Cortina 2.0GL is Corsican blue. My uncle had an identical one with 3 speed auto 1981 to 1990, bought at a year old. Used as his everyday work car (self employed builder) towing trailers a lot of the time. It was absolutely fucked by 1990. You can imagine the state of the interior. Replaced by 'Blue Savannah', a Renault estate. That song was new in the charts at the time. Builders in the car singing "Racing 'cross the desertAt a hundred miles an hour", etc. chaseracer and BorniteIdentity 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smellypoo Posted August 11, 2019 Share Posted August 11, 2019 RE: 2.0 GL in Corsican Blue - Excellent! I have fond memories of that car. Dad's looked identical (also on a V registration) but had black and white stripes down the sides, a bit like those off the Crusader spec. Dad sold his in 1990, when it was replaced by a brand new run-out model Orion. The fabric covering tops of the rear seat just disintegrated in the sun...

Aston Martin Posted August 14, 2019 Share Posted August 14, 2019 I loved when Vauxhall and Nissan went mental in 2001? With the Chromaflair Astras and Primeras. I saw an old boy in the purple mk4 Astra last week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
