RomanBronze 0 Posted January 22, 2014 A few of us were discussing rare trim colours recently and it got me thinking of something I've been meaning to do for a while - make a list of the surviving MK4 Cortinas I'm aware of including exterior and interior colours etc. won't know all of them and others can add to the list but there's a sensitive issue first. Many of the cars will be owned by BSC members and even if not, what are people's thoughts on a list like this incl reg numbers? It could be sensitive. On the other hand, the info is taken from info and mainly photos available to all online. All views welcome. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mk4ste 43 Posted January 22, 2014 (edited) we could let owners just give the info they feel happy with :thumbup: and a pic of the car of course.this way we would still know about it and trim etc. as for all the cars we already know about i cant see a problem. we only know because the info is already availible.

Ghiahead 6 Posted January 23, 2014 I think it is a great idea. The sensitivity can be separated by "BSC owner supplied info" = verfied vs "based on pics" = unverified. The BSC info could be deemed definative to the forum and other info could be viewed as "nice to know" It can be put on a private area so only members can view and it could be moderated. Maybe add some rules around not publishing or posting this info anywhere else. I do think we need a proper Ford colour chart too for MKIV's This one any good?

the-ford-cortina.com 225 Posted January 23, 2014 you cant get a V5 with just the reg number - I know I have tried you cant get the adress of the owner with just the reg number - unless you are police or run a car park so there is nothing serious to worry about letting people know your reg number Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ale06 7 Posted January 23, 2014 In mho the top colours for MK4 are: Peppermint Green/Black vinyl roof, Signal Orange, Roman Bronze/Tan vinyl roof, Midnight Blue, Diamond White... But if I find one to me, I don´t care if it is a 1.3 Base with Barbie Pink colour!! :D Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RomanBronze 0 Posted January 23, 2014 Thanks for the feedback guys. I'll leave this up for a while longer before posting anything, although I have completed the list of 2.3 V6 cars I know of, which is not far off 30. Love the chart ghiahead, although I do think you could do with a bit more brown .... Ale, I start thinking of my favourite colour combos and the list gets very long, very quickly.

martog 128 Posted January 23, 2014 I,m up for this as well though can only add mine and a sighting by a mate (6 months ago now) in Moss Side, Manchester. This car is a red 1.6 GL KLG 163T. I'll add mine to the "propa" list once it's up and batting. :thumbup: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
the-ford-cortina.com 225 Posted January 24, 2014 I'll add mine to the "propa" list once it's up and batting. :thumbup: Have you got a mk2 then ?? :headscratch: :icecream: 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

cortinaboy 0 Posted January 26, 2014 I think this is a good idea, making a list of all surviving Mk4s would be interesting. Il post my car up if you start a post. As you can see from my sig, I don't mind giving out my reg... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RomanBronze 0 Posted January 26, 2014 Ok then. Seems like there's no objections raised. Dull as it may sound, I've started a file in excel to keep it neat but I don't think I can post that so gonna copy and paste some info over as soon as I've had the chance to sort the list I've already done. I started with the 2.3 Mk4 and will put up basic info in the next day or two. Seemed a good place to start as there's not many but will give a good taster. Doing the 1.6 & 2.0 is where all the time will be spent! :playball: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

mk4ste 43 Posted January 26, 2014 top job bud, is there a pic option so we can see the cars, well for the ones we have pics of? :thumbup: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RomanBronze 0 Posted January 26, 2014 (edited) Hi Ste. I thought about that, was in two minds but really I should, so I'll add a column of the spreadsheet for photo links. Can't upload the excel file but ihappy to send a copy to anyone who wants one. Edited January 26, 2014 by RomanBronze Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
