cortina 4 Posted June 13, 2015 (edited) Mk4 and Mk5 were satin black from new, I believe mk3's should be body colour but would have to check brochures to be sure, I am sure of mk4 and 5's though. There are exceptions to this for MK5 the two tone Carousel and Crusader models, where the sills were originally painted in the lower body colour.

olosteve 0 Posted June 13, 2015 The £1,900 to £2,300 guide price seems a bit low (if it's as tidy as it looks in the pics) but then the joy of auctions is that you might just get lucky - are you going to view it? No I'm not going as the Cortina was the only car I was interested in. I'm not in a position to tie up over £2000 in a classic at the moment and then I thought about the road tax which I suppose will be £225 a year.

Mk5Mike 36 Posted June 13, 2015 (edited) Anyone know what this sold for in the end? I was just wondering the same thing Kevin - they haven't put the results on their website yet... Edited June 13, 2015 by Mk5Mike Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
olosteve 0 Posted June 14, 2015 They are slow to post results. Classic car weekly should show result on Wednesday. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dockertrigger 2 Posted June 15, 2015 Some of the prices are up but not all of them yet, this should have had black sills although i prefer them body coloured. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

RT 1006 137 Posted June 16, 2015 Sold for £2740..... Plus fees and indemnity probably puts it up to about 3k, seems a high price,probably a couple of bidders getting carried away with themselves. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
