Costina4x4 2 Posted February 23, 2012 Was talking to a friend over the weekend about my re found love for the Cortina. We were discussing all the old "boy racer" Tina's we used to race. One of them was a Salmon Pink 2.0S, does anyone have a pic of another MK4 salmon pink Cortina? I've seen 2 in Salmon pink.... The Mk4 which was stolen and set on fire on the railway line. I used to pass it on the way to school every morning. The other was a mk5 Ghia. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Costina4x4 2 Posted February 25, 2012 Yep thats the colour. I've definetly seen a mk4 2.0S that colour and a mk5 GLS. Maybe they were one off's, like the three black series one RS turbo's or the 5 red Sapphire Cosworths. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
