	Pretty smart. Must be one of the last made, on a 1982/X-plate. What model is it? I notice it lists it as a 2.3, if you put the reg number into Euro Car Parts' website...

	Nice car. Massive want for a Mk4/Mk5 Cortina, but I think I've missed my chance now with the way prices are going.

	You've brought it up a treat! If it were mine, I'd probably revert back to stock orange front indicators.

	Really nice. Brings back fond memories of my MkV - Ventian red. Only thing that jars with me is the number plates... but it's yours so that doesn't matter. Lovely car.

	Looking very smart. Is the 5-speed gearbox original to the car, or a later conversion from a Sierra or similar?
