Albeniz Turbocharged January 12, 2008 Share January 12, 2008 Saw an old school Ford Cortina this morning. It was with a new coat of paint and the internal is fully-refurbished with new leather seats. Even the upholstery looks fantastic. It comes with a unique number plate. Does it belong to anyone here? Brings back my childhood memories! The actual car looks better than the quick photo I have taken. I am using a lousy cam Hp. ↡ Advertisement 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anjas Neutral Newbie January 12, 2008 Share January 12, 2008 (edited) I'd driven one before. It was my cousin's car, it was way before I cud afford a car of my own. I can't really remember how it felt, but I know it was solidly built. Edited January 12, 2008 by Anjas 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Albeniz Turbocharged January 12, 2008 Author Share January 12, 2008 Registration year of this car was from 1975 to 1979. Most were scrapped by 1989, after their 10th year. This car is almost extinct in Singapore. To have the privilege to drive one here, you must be at least 45 years old. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mach Clutched January 14, 2008 Share January 14, 2008 Actually this shouldn't really be under American Talk cos this was a British Ford model But I remember this model v well cos my uncle had one. Think it was white with a black vinyl roof (real 70s style). Real big car for a 1600cc. Whats interesting is that the first 1980s Hyundai Stellar was based on this Cortina model cos Hyundai used to build the Cortina under licence. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mach Clutched January 14, 2008 Share January 14, 2008 As a kid I thought the "Escort 1300 Sports" was real cool with the racy stripe at the side, ending with the "1300 Sports" wording at the back....and the round fog lamps at the front grille.
