Excellent!!!

Would be a great buy for someone who did shows ...

£7100 though

Theres lots of cars you can buy for that ..... not as unique, but better certainly!

There no such thing as a MK6 Cortina, thats a MK5, the last of the line. I had one just like that but it has 1 brown wing and more rust

Looks like someone trying to run it up. The car is at TC Harrison (you can see the reg plates of the other cars in the photo) and if you google Max Muscroft (the current high bidder) he apparently works for aftersales at the same garage

Naughty naughty.

Max must want it to hit the ticket price
http://www.tch.co.uk/usedveh_view.as...&OrderBy=Model
I have asked seller a question "Why is Max Muscroft who works for TC Harrison Ford pushing up the price ?"

Good bit of detective work matey!

Oh well, looks like it backfired anyway, cos Max is now the proud owner of a 1982 Cortina!

You'd think he could have just bought it straight off his boss rather than bidding on ebay, he might even have got a staff discount!

I know, i sent the seller a question saying that perhaps he should buy it directly for a discount or even a commission

Usless pub informtion. Ford did actualy make a MK6 Cortina, though it never made the showrooms or production lines as they decided to go with that Jelly mould ****e the Sierra.
The car that they spent a fortune on, only to drop, was sold on to Hyundi, who badged and sold it as the Stellar.

The ghia was the best of the buch and my brother owned a year old one in dark blue, probably one of the nicest cars in town (in those days).

We spend endless days painting the tyres black with 'Goodyear Grand Prix S' in white. Ah, the good old days
