maurice 1 Posted May 10, 2022 Went for a ride the other week along the sea front in Ayr when i spotted this parked up. A nice base model in the Cordoba Beige if i remember rightly, so i sat for an hour waiting for the owner to turn up. Turns out the owner lives in the next village to me and the car was featured in Practical Classics in 2017 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If I remember correctly Russel didn't keep it very long. He bought it from a dealer not 3 miles from my house. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

sheffieldcortinacentre 748 Posted May 10, 2022 It's an early L ( Oct 79 regd in London) tape stripe & cloth interior ( base had non & a vynil interior) with roof mounted mirror but it's had a front valance at sometime as it has the outer vents that lead into wing. Nice car though. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Shadow 20 Posted May 11, 2022 A little like mine Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
maurice 1 Posted May 11, 2022 Hi Craig yes he said it had the front valance changed at some point, and i asked him about the wheels as they should have been the L rims not the sports road wheels, although they were an optional extra on the Base and L models, Kevin said he put the sports road wheels on himself Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
