i second that. i miss the time when BSC was a very busy place 😪

i guess the auctioner isn t much into cars as he didn t mention Lotus on the MK2 and not GT on th Mk1. and i ve never heard of a Gilb-U-rn before: nice Gilbern: https://bidonline.ncmauctions.co.uk/auctions/7248/ncm-au10227/lot-details/bf13a6a5-38e8-4a79-a8af-aae9015493a6

and a Crayford too: https://bidonline.ncmauctions.co.uk/auctions/7248/ncm-au10227/lot-details/d9f83ad0-0e80-4742-8f4b-aae4015898f4

in case you want the old style look without disposal sign, though reading Escort MK1/2 i fear it might get pricey? https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/FORD-ESCORT-MK1-RS2000-MK2-RS2000-MK2-MEXICO-EFL-90-MOTORCRAFT-OIL-FILTER-NEW/153699554716?hash=item23c935159c:g:HWoAAOSwxORdtIts

would have a good offer for the engine, if anyone is interested in the rest?

i second that, and at least two very nice Cortinas in as well👍

in the unlikely event any continental users are still watching this site, i d like to offer a july 69 MK2. nothing for a collection and needs restoration. 711m engine fitted. more info to come asap:

yep i second that! and an XL must be rarer than a GXL nowadays? i always preferred a black interior as it looks more sporty, though my GXL is brown too, as is my MK1 Capri (unfortunately)

ups sorry to hear that, though i m not into Merceds i just had a nose at German and Austrian adverts, parts are not too expensive, but problem will be shipping!

it´s quite a long time i ran a MK3 Taunus with a VV carb, but if i remember correct it was 2 very little bores at the acc pump that "closed" and therefore caused troubles. ones the carb is serviced properly it´s not as bad as it´s reputation.

yep Dean, that´s what i recall from memory as well:

thx for the pic and good luck with your nice estate

maybe you can downsize them, would be quite nosey! meanwhile here an old thread: https://www.buysellcortina.co.uk/forums/index.php?/topic/22897-bench-seats/

not that i could help, but we always like piccies of your Estate-please!
