Model: mk4 Cortina estate 1.6 Year: 1978 Mileage: 130,000 Tax: Nov 09 MOT: July 10 Location: Northants Price: £950 Tentatively for sale because ive been offered another car, which to be honest I like more and have wanted for ages.......I had/have lots of plans for this 'tina so if it doesnt sell, well thats that I shall keep her, but if she does then bobs your uncle and all that First pics......... OK so I wil be totally honest, she is not perfect but very very presentable. The 1600 pinto performs well, all on standard ford VV carb and filter box etc. Its got 10 and a half months MOT and taxed until end november. Basically jump in and go, it runs really sweet and drives anywhere you want no probs. Has had welding to inner front valance and inner front wing and little patch on drivers sill door shut and rear wheel arch. Underside is clean and generally rust free with a good covering of wax and black sealer over the years. Things like door window weather strips are bit cracked but all there. My best description would be an honest car thats had the same owner for the last 20 something years and has been looked after and used on a regular basis. The speedo reads 29k I'm guessing its actually 129k. Comes with old MOT's etc I figure these should tie up the mileage but I havent looked at them too closely. As you can see from pics very clean looking, if you wanted to get some paint done this could be local classic car show standard easily, but I would leave as is, just look after it and use it. Looking at cars without test or very short ones and no tax etc that go on e-bay for 650-750 ish id like 950 for it. Dunno if thats about right but it seems to be about what its worth these days. If anyone wants anymore info I will do best to provide it, PM or post up. Ta folks.

Having seen this one in the metal, and having also owned the same car but a few years newer (thus being subjected to the rust) I can vouch for its solidarity. Plus, it's a '4' which, at £950 makes it a hell of an investment too.
Go on, buy it, roll beige, winners do!

Didnt sell,
no bids, ah well. If anyone is interested then by all means drop me a PM.
Other then that I'm amazed, people will pay 5-600 for a cortina thats ropey looking all day on e-bay yet this which is seriously unmolested doesnt make a sniff at 700. weird.
I expect i shall stick on the lowering springs and wolfrace slot mags and roll beige and low like the cool kids.
