The car is in Northern Ireland and comes with a standard UK V5 registration document. It can be used anywhere in the UK without reregistering or incurring any import duties. Delivery to most mainland UK postcodes averages £400.
First registered on 1st August 1979, a 3 owner car with 104, 300 miles on the clock.
The exterior is in very good condition, with only a few minor blemishes, inevitable for a car of this age.
The interior of the car, including the seats, carpets, and dashboard, is in very good condition, with the exception of the driver's bolster, which may need to be repaired depending on the new owner's preference.
Under the bonnet, in the boot, and across the underside, the car is solid, and structurally sound, a rare find in this condition.
Out on the road, she performs well, with a quiet engine and a smooth gearbox that operates well, effortlessly keeping up with modern traffic. There is a slight noise in third gear, but it does not affect the car's performance or driving experience.
The Ford Cortina, produced from 1962 to 1982, was one of Britain's best-selling cars. Designed as an affordable family saloon, it evolved through five generations, becoming a staple on UK roads.
The early models were compact and practical, with the high-performance Lotus Cortina standing out.
By the 1970s, the car adopted a sleeker design, with the Mk4 becoming the UK's best-seller.
The final Mk5, launched in 1979, refined the formula before the Cortina was replaced by the Sierra in 1982.
Even today, it remains an icon of British motoring history.
The description of the car reflects my personal opinion based on my experience, and time with the car. However, opinions are subjective, and what I find acceptable may differ from your perspective.
Please don't compare her to a modern car, she's 46 years old, built to the engineering and design standards of her time. As with any classic car, there will always be room for improvement and jobs that need attention.
It is also inevitable that she will require ongoing attention, maintenance, and repairs.
If you're considering purchasing the car, I strongly encourage you to examine and test it in person to ensure it meets your expectations and suits your needs. This will give you the opportunity to fully appreciate its condition and assess whether it's the right car for you.
