bugsntinas 29 Posted December 31, 2022 Well after having the car up for sale over here for over a month and only about 6 enquiries ( not serious ) it looks like I’m keeping the old girl. She’s surplus to requirements and can’t really afford to insure her but she’s here to stay for now. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GhiaMk4/5 207 Posted January 1, 2023 I've owned Cortinas for 45 years, it will only go up in value if you keep on top of it. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I know what ya mean but like a lot of people to man6 projects and not enough cash. I bought an old iveco camper to do up but used the savings to buy a Ford cargo. then used the savings for that and bought a beetle to do up so t8me to stop buying:) Edited January 2, 2023 by bugsntinas Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
