That’s my car 😀

Probably one of the worst financial decisions I’ll ever make, but unless I move on with another car I’ll be schlepping around in this old jalopy for years - and whilst I don’t care, the missus would, bless her. Life is short and the new fiver, which will  probably ruin me with a bad turn, is glam as **** and she feels right special in it with its soft close doors.  Poor old Volvo is an amazing car, but isn’t glam. Wish I could just box it up and keep for Armageddon.

Ought to list it here, If you put it up for a roffle at £10 a ticket I would buy one for sure!

This was for sale at The Motorist. I have spoke to the chap that owns it at my local parts place he seems a nice bloke.

63K on the clock.

@calebaaront If you want a matching one.

Hey Ford, the Cortina was your golden goose

Don’t give them any ideas! They’ll suffer the same fate as the Capri and no one wants that.

How many head gaskets do these have? Presume two but I’m clueless.

Isn't it a boxer so one? I don't know either tbh

Definitely 2 head gaskets as the engine is a flat/boxer/180 degree V etc......

Might be a late one that has the adapted headlights that don't go yellow with the plastic lenses. If so - nice to have! Like rear headrests too.

The only good diesel Ford made (roughly of that era) was the 2.5Di. It was probably too late for and maybe never have slotted in the Cortina, and the other diesels they had were fucking rubbish. It's (very) good thing they never fitted them to the Cortina, imho.

I had a Sierra (91)  and Mondeo (96) with the 1.8 TD. Not great by today’s standards, and wasn’t as good as the Peugeot 1.9 but it was pretty much par for the course , certainly in the Sierra.
