These were everywhere when I were a lad. I always associate them with the strange chip shop pie tin wheels most of them had.

Those alone are probably worth a fair chunk of the asking price!

Is that the City, or Roupell Street sort of way? 

The next road along from Roupell - Whittlesey St. That's Windmill Walk in the top right.

HI M8, does it use any oil?

This is at a local classic dealer to me:

Mental price, in my opinion, for a car that’s been ruined by the paint job. They’ve managed to sell Cortinas at this price before though. 
 

Single mirror on a Ghia seems tight.

Tight but correct!

Passenger door mirror was fitted to the brochure car but small print makes clear that it was an extra cost option.  £11 in 1980.

November 1980 brochure

Passenger side door mirror became standard on all Cortinas except base in February 1981.

They were back on Roupell when he was there (end of May), in the exact spot that they are in the November 2020 Google Street View.

Feat. my mate's breakfast.

There's a total of three Morris Minors along Whittlesey St in the most recent Google imagery - along with the Rover I wonder if there's a competing British car collector to rival the French one?

June 2025 Classic Car & Bike Auction

When did you last see one of these? (About 4 or 5 pages back)

Lot 1 - 1979 Fiat 127 Sport - NO RESERVE

How much!!!!!!!!!!!

 

£10,250 plus 7.5% means teh buyer has just paid a smidge over £11,000 for this Fiat. I know it's rare, but that's a bit daft if you ask me.

2002 Suzuki Swift GLX 1.0 manual Full MOT zero rot or corrosion. 62,000 miles

According to the last test it does have a bit of corrosion actually, Still, that's pretty good for a 23 year old Swift.

Quote

Monitor and repair if necessary (advisories):

Nearside Front Integral body structure is corroded but structural rigidity is not significantly reduced FLOOR (6.1.1 (c) (i))
