I remember seeing the red GL on ebay being sold by TC Harrison, I also recall seeing pictures on line of it being A framed to a show in Scotland by it’s new owner with a mk 4 towing the A frame.

I also saw the Silver Crusader at  Dagenham when I visited there in 2012, I also recall seeing it displayed at Swansea museum when I was a child in the early 1980’s I guess it would have been 1983/4.

I have a Y reg Crystal green 2.0 Crusader estate, the single colour cars had chrome bumpers and window trim, the two tone cars had black, but with colour coded grills.

Y reg was obviously very common, but there were several A reg Cortina’s which were less common. I read somewhere about radio station cars registered as late as C or D reg. I think on here.

Those estate's belonged to the BBC 1.6L I believe, y reg is as said pretty common.

I have pics of the red unregistered GL in the Sheffield TCH showroom in the mid 90's with circa 50 miles on the clock, it was part of their private collection along with a gen GT 40 reg TCH1 ( pos ex gulf lemans car) Cobra,a replica of Cuths works MK2 zephyr rally car, along with I was told( when enquiring about the cortina for an article in the club mag) that amongst other unregistered fords there was a 105e, MK1 escort ( STD even though they were an RS dealer) Corsair,MK3 escort, MK1 transit ( I think a swb pickup).

They stopped being a ford dealer in Sheffield during the 00's cars & commercial but still have a large JCB dealership just off M1J 35A, as well as atleast one ford one in Burton on Trent.

Drove down to Brighton from Lancaster 🤔 tells me it's in Brighton at the moment

I find it amazing that sellers seem to think doing a short motorway trip is some big deal. What is it 350 miles ? Makes it sound like they've driven it back from Poland.

Automatic? That would be something of a miracle as I don't think they made automatic cityrovers!

350 miles is short????  To some of us that's a two-day drive with a Premier Inn halfway!

I hope it's found a good home.

At that price I suspect it's at risk of getting fragged. I imagine a 75 would weigh in for £300-350 at the moment

As you say, hopefully someone got it who will give it a chance. I'd bet it wouldn't need much for a ticket
