John Mack 242 Posted October 31, 2021 White Ford Corsair Estate south bound on the A1 at Metro Centre/Gateshead, ok not a Cortina but it made me smile. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Steve Walton 128 Posted October 31, 2021 A Corsair is a rare thing, But an Estate is a very rare thing. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
John Mack 242 Posted October 31, 2021 Honestly, I didn't know if there was such a thing....but the front is instantly recognisable and it was definitely an estate/shooting break/long-roof/call-it-what-you-will !! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

SusanButcher 26 Posted November 2, 2021 (edited) It doesn't mention it, but I think they used spare parts from the Mk1 estate creating the rear doors, rear pillars and roof. I tried to check www.fordcorsair.co.uk with Wayback, but there's nothing left of it but the index pages.

sheffieldcortinacentre 523 Posted November 3, 2021 Yes they used MK1 parts , Corsair is built on a stretched MK1 shell. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
