My wife thinks i'm going through another mid life crisis just bought myself a 1970 1600e cortina, now you young guns in this league wont have a clue what one is, but the elder statesmen Gary, Chris, Ronnie, Tommy and Dave will understand when i say manual choke, no power steering ,wooden cappings, Rostyle wheels, Chrome bumpers i could go on. This car was the sports family saloon of it's day.
A few pictures of the car.

wow!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! what a lovely car only one wing mirror ????
i had many years ago a mk2 1600 gt estate also a friend of mine had the lotus edition
i also had a corsair 2000e they certainly dont make them like that now

my dad had one of these went like a bomb 1.6l you can get classic insurance carolnash in mcr cheap

I know one wing mirror e-bay is coming to my rescue there, going to get the classic tex viewmaster chrome period one's, i also had a lotus but prices today have gone mad for a good un a lot of £££££££££'s.
