Welcome Credders, nice looking coupe there.

How do find it compared to the Mk 2 Cortina.  (my dad has an original 67' 4 door Cortina)

What colour is the interior of your 1600?

Your Cortina is same colour as my Dads 1500 - I think his has 40k on the clock and has never been touched, restoration wise.

They are worlds apart, but I still like riding around in his. I'll show him this link - he'll be well chuffed because he recently told me that there are only something like five of his car left on the road.

I'm selling some on eBay at the moment, they never did inertia belts for the rear.

I do better rates for Forum members!

PM me if your interested.
