I'm currently working for ITV, where we're making a new car show where we reintroduce celebrities to cars of their past. A really nice feel good show with a fresh way of looking at classic cars and peoples stories with cars.
I'm currently on the hunt for a 2.0 liter Ford Cortina Mk 4 Ghia, with a black vinyl roof, we will be filming in London on May 16th and 17th. Anyone who would like to provide a Cortina for use of filming or has any information on one, that would be fantastic.
You can contact me on 0207 157 3821 or e-mail me on myles.warwood@itv.com
All the best,
Myles
There's around 100 x Cortina Ghia's left on the road in the UK.
Some of these will be Mk IV's & some Mk V's.
Of these Mk IV's some will be 2L.
Of these, some will have the black vinyl roof.
I'm guessing by this stage you'll have whittled the 100 cars down to about 30 or 40.
(Basket cases apart), there is only 1 x Cortina Ghia for sale that I can find at the moment, it has black vinyl roof & Webasto or Britax folding sunroof;
Cortina Ghia Mk VI 2L
(A very attractive example).
Worth contacting the advertiser perhaps if the car fits the bill.
You might try making contact with these clubs to see if they can help;
Mk 1-5 Cortina Owners Club
Cortina Owners Club
For future filming it's probably best to start sourcing cars 6 months in advance rather than 6 days.
Probably worth posting in the Retro Rides 'General' Board as well.
Good luck with the search & the show!
