Would Solex carbs interest you ?

Thanks Dan, I'll be getting in touch when mine is due for renewal.

At your price limit perhaps but this looks very nice and at least you could enjoy the rest of the summer using it ……. https://www.gumtree.com/p/ford/ford-cortina-crusader-/1377506608

Here might be a good place to advertise as well?...… https://www.carandclassic.co.uk/

This could be worth a look?? Body and interior look pretty decent although a lot of surface rust in the engine bay and what looks like a hole in NS inner wing and NS of boot floor by seal? If you're close, could be worth a look?......a trundle up the M5 and you're there!! https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/FORD-CORTINA-MK5-2-0-GL-ESTATE/164239479300?hash=item263d6f9204:g:GBgAAOSw2eNe4Rg4

That's lovely....good luck with sale.

None taken.

My car wears a louvre on the rear screen, it shades the back seat noticeably and as I often have my dogs in the back I'd say it does a job, some might call it tat though......I love it. Would be a funny world if we all liked the same thing?

I wonder if the extra leverage that the bigger wheels have is what contributed to bending the half-shaft flange?

I would think it's this little lot...…. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Mk5-Cortina-Parts/324069035661?hash=item4b74050e8d%3Ag%3AtGwAAOSws0Vdh1sb&LH_Auction=1

Great !

……..or only have the older smileys, they're much better and a sufficient number?

Very good. The place I used to get Fram filters stopped selling them, instead they started selling Wix. I was sceptical because I hadn't heard of them but turns out they've been on the go for a while.
