Trotter is back

[Trotter 6]

Hello everyone, some of the longer members may know me. I was into Cortina's for many years and had I would say a memorable 2 door GXL that was in a very good state. I owned this car for over 15 years and had undergone a couple of major revamps, bare metal respray and total rebuild from ground up. but in February 2016 some scrotes decided to steal it for fun and destroy it. From that day I said I will never own another. I bought a Zephyr 6 that was told was a good one. On further findings it was a bag of crap and needed major works. So with my heart on the floor it needed to be done, but the full story is too long, after many years it is looking sweet and running a V8. I still have / had friends in the Cortina world and spoke to some regularly and I also class as good friends. As some of you may know Crazyian. Who I have been friends with for over 20 years passed. The joke was always he will go before me and I will have his car.... well that time did happen a man of that much integrity and kindness passed (miss you mate).

I am happy to say I am back as I have now the owner of HANK. so my spirit is back in the Cortina world..

 

Regards Rick.

God bless you Ian x

Good for keeping his memory alive, circa 10 years ago another good cortina guy was taken to early , but his car is still around & a credit to the owner.

Still brings a tear to my eye when I see it, but happy memories too.
