Subject to cosmetic restoration and respray circa 2014-2015
The Appeal
The Ford Cortina is arguably one of the most important cars in British motoring history. And it’s certainly one of the most stylish classics you’ll generally come across - with a big, boxy cabin and gentle sweep to the bodywork creating the closest the country has to its own Lancia Fulvia.
Part of the much-lauded 2nd generation, with its highest level of trim, this Cortina features an unusual metallic purple colour scheme, an impressive period interior and that all-important Cortina profile in good order. Your perfect opportunity to take on a bonafide period classic!CJNsZXogODb3SpcFm6Ax2MXoqlcl61Unxdw34vJI.jpg1.64 MB
