known cortinas that have gone.....

[74cortina 0]

speaking of mk3 p100 anybody see that rat look mk3 at the show. did that start life as an estate as i recognise the number plate as being the yellow mk3 estate that was partially in primer for sale at the yat 3 years ago. :rofl: UKR - - - -

 

maybe it was just similar, same owner though...

 

yep i was thinking exactly the same thing at the yat,as i was sure that number was on that yellow estate too...it was UTP ***K..maybe he used the id off it? no idea who the bloke is but he's there every year,is welsh and seems to buy up lots of parts and stuff...

 

Bazbiker who now has the black mk3 P100 nuttertruck goes on the MTOC forum rather than here.

 

as for cortinas that have left the scene i could put up a list of a few that i've owned and sold over the past 5 or 6 years.. :unsure:

Last time I heard of this one, it had been sold to someone in Maldon Essex...it was seen a few times but not for a while? still taxed though so a good sign!

OLY is about 5 miles from here belongs to a mate of mine called Stevie. has GT tombstones in it now and a window louver - used as his daily runner. Just had new sills and sill to floor panels welded in so looking a bit sorry for itself just now with primer about it. Getting sprayed soon I think. Its a bloody good car!

I've lost track of :

 

FTJ 138J - pearl grey GXL with ruby trim. Tried to buy it back when i saw it advertised at a local dealer a few years ago, Had already been sold tho

 

LUC160K - Tawny GXL re registered as RYY - - - K when the keeper after me sold the reg. Was a bloody nice car when I sold it a few years back. There was an RYY reg'd mk3 on here for a bit that had been rebuilt as daytona yellow, which i THINK is the same car, not confirmed though

 

PLS141T - Gold Mk4 1.6L - utterly mint with 40 odd thousand on the clock, last heard of in Livingston but showing as unlicenced now :-(

 

PSF904Y - Carribean Blue Crusader - 40 odd thousand on the clock with incredible FSH and the nicest driving cortina Ive had bought from the original 93 year old owner. FSH but needed a bit of tidying on the wing rails and a couple of wings. Last seen at the Yat with a matt black spray job, so i suspect its now dead :thumbup:

 

NGO110D - Mk1 GT replica in racing green with silver stripe - gorgeous car, sold to a bloke from down south, never to be heard of again

 

REC 575 V - 2.3 Ghia mk5 - last seen logoed up as police car on ashes to ashes but untaxed since i sold it in 2005

 

FSX 766T 2.8 mk4 Ghia midnight blue/blue trim - sold to a bloke from glasgow a couple of years back, showing as unlicenced :headscratch:

I remember your car Credders. Up at Kirton Lindsay werent you. It wanted a lot of bodywork

[mk4savage 62]

A couple of mk4's I can think of, I'm not sure if they were known on here or not but I have seen them at symonds yat before,

 

TCP 259T, Gold mk4 ghia.

 

FNE 595V, Blue mk4 ghia.

 

I've got a feeling the gold one ended up in Ireland but not sure about the blue one. Both cars were lovely examples and it would be a shame if they weren't around anymore.
