I’ve gone to the last 4 or 5 but will be giving it a miss this year. Hope you enjoy and grab a bargain or two.

It would be nice to meet you too, but the Cortina’s in no state to travel that distance with the carbs in the state of tune they are sadly.

I think mine is even less likely to make it (so I'm going in the modern) as its being chopped into ever smaller bits!  |

Currently learning how to construct a 1970 1300 deluxe out of sheet steel......😳 Can’t really complain, it did come as one of those ‘if you take it away, it’s yours!’ Deals😀 |

Well, I made it up to the Cortina National at Stratford today - not in the Cortina as it's in bits. Took a few pics:- Very tidy 4door GT in a rather unusual shade   Pre-airflow with a different twin cam   A long distance visitor  A Cortina 440 all the way from Oz.  A more regular twin cam but not in its usual home.  Custom woody  A gathering of Lotuses  A very tidy late Lotus  One of the visitors - mild custom Consul Capri - check out the hub-caps.  Some more obscure Fords - Thames mini-bus and Mk2 Zodiac  With all the shiny restored cars - this stood out for me!  and from the front  Smart Anglebox van in FoMoCo parts livery  Lotus powered Anglia  Still retaining its creature comforts  Lovely Mk2 GT 2 door - perfect.   4 door Mk2 GT in a great period colour  A gathering of Lotuses  And a few purchases - for a change I actually managed to find stuff I needed - some uprated strut top mounts, some straighter rear bumper brackets, a spare wheel bracket and some interior sill trims as I'm thinking about putting some carpet and comforts into the interior. Enjoy |

Cool pics. I bet that NA Cosworth mk1 a blast to drive. I’ve seen the dark green mk2 GT in the flesh and it’s absolutely stunning.
