Dagenham Darren 0 Posted November 29, 2013 I was just wondering how many other people on here owned a MK5 Cortina Carousel and if you could post a picture of yours. I am restoring mine at the moment and would be great to see some others and know how many there are. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

wreckers771 4 Posted November 30, 2013 They were only available in 1.3 or 1.6 cc.were in two tone forest green and crystal green or graphite grey and strato silver in saloon and estate with the estate only getting the 1.6. Both mirrors were remote and there was an optional 'spring pack' available. They were basically an 'L' model tarted up by ford with 'GL' parts Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
btboy 50 Posted November 30, 2013 There was also a Roman bronze over Tuscan beige option. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dagenham Darren 0 Posted November 30, 2013 I think it was 18 additional feature options for the carousel, trim, tinted glass, wind open sunroof, adjustable head restraints which at that time were not standard, electric aerial, other GL features to like the centre console and fascia and the fact they only made 6000 of them is pretty cool itself where if you think of like the crusader there was if I remember reading correctly something like 30 thousand or so made so not really limited edition, or as limited edition as the carousel.

the-ford-cortina.com 226 Posted November 30, 2013 (edited) Really? So is there no real accurate statistics out there? None I know of , I think the problem is they are going off DVLA records and one of the problems with that is on the V5C it may not state the car as being a paticular model - or may not be on the computer as that model even if its on V5 THINKING ABOUT IT I just got a V5C back for a Cortina and it doesnt even state CORTINA on it - its just a Ford saloon . :headscratch: Edited November 30, 2013 by the-ford-cortina.com Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

wreckers771 4 Posted November 30, 2013 There was also a Roman bronze over Tuscan beige option. I bought a brochure off fleebay just for the carousel model and it says just the 2 colour schemes and I thought the brown version was the crusader-I could b very wrong tho!!!!
