My father had a MK2 Cortina in white at the time, I learnt to drive in it at age 10, couldn't do that now of course.

That picture reminds me of my Mk2 1600E Cortina in the same colour .... Saluki Bronze.

Memories...... sigh

Aye to that! I remember seeing an advert in Motoring News for a rally prepared Avenger Tiger in the late '80s...£700 ono and I had missed it by minutes when I called the guy.

Wish I'd bought that and stored it!

Hiya folks sorry for the late reply, I did take a look at the car.

Over priced and in the end I left where it is.

Best derision I think and this is the reason why.

I had one, it was my first car when i started driving, I bought it off the local bobby, it was bright orange and was beautiful to me

It also went really quick as he had done things to it!

Not only do I own 2 MG ZT Tourers both 1.8 turbos, A Rover 200 BRM, I also have a MK1 1967 Hunter saloon which still goes to shows and is used regularly to and from work along the M25. It has had a few mods but still runs a twin carb 1725 engine. I love it,it gets lots of attention and its very smart considering a lot of the paint is original. Sad think is I would be lucky to get 2k for it. If it had a Ford badge on it, 10k.. I love its rarity,fewer than 10 mk1,s left. I learnt to drive in one, Raced a Holbay in the 80's and drove to the south of France 5 up as a teenager in a Hunter estate. A Hunter won the 1968 London to Sidney marathon and also won the longest ever round the world marathon in the 1990's. A Holbay also slaughtered all in its class in the 1973 saloon car championships. Still a forgotten classic but I will always speak highly of them. 5K only for a good GT or rough GLS which are now almost extinct. Ironicall there is a GT on EBAY at the moment,no bids at 3K. low single figures left now so surely must be worth that. I have it on watch and may well go for it.
