This was mine 30 years ago, right after I got it resprayed. 2.0GL auto, perfect spec. Please Tony, get a white front plate made up! Those black ones have to go, they're just SO wrong!

danthecapriman Posted June 26, 2021 Share Posted June 26, 2021 Great looking car! Always had a soft spot for a Cortina! Agree with Eddy on the tyres, 185/70 is the size to go for on a 5.5x13 rim (I assume these new rims are 5.5) Ive got a set on my Capri which has the 5.5x13 dartboard style wheels. They look well in that size imho. bicycle repairman and Shite Ron 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
