newt79mustang 0 Posted August 27, 2013 :unsure: Pauper seeks Cortina! Hate to beg but here goes, I am after a cheap Cortina that is on the road or not too far off being on the road. I sadly had to sell my other Cortina's years ago(family commitments). Desperatly after finding one now. Would really like MK1,2 or 3 but would consider mk4-5. I'm not a messer or trying to make a profit I want one I can use and enjoy and look after. I would give the car a good loving home and cherish it. Looking for something around £1500. If you can help me out I would be over the moon Thanks Daniel Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

newt79mustang 0 Posted August 27, 2013 proper cortina £2,000 but is going to need a fair bit of bodywork to get right - theres going to be plenty of hidden rot there Thanks for the updates, first one is a bit too far, already looked at the mk2 already seems ok but slightly over budget for me wouldn't leave me any money to get it nice. Thanks for keeping an eye out :thumbup: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Danish 294 Posted August 27, 2013 the mk2 already seems ok but slightly over budget for me wouldn't leave me any money to get it nice. Buy it and lay it up for a few months until you've got some cash together to sort it out? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bronxglenn 10 Posted August 28, 2013 The MK2 looks nice. The bench seat and the coloum change ( other than when on an automatic ) will hold the price back. IMHO. Keep looking. I saw a MK3 bargain, £1000 private sale and needed plenty of work in Livingston last week but it's gone now. Probably to far to travel to Scotland from the South of England anyway.
