hopefully if theres enough publicity that if it has been stolen it mite turn up somewhere abandoned.
i lost a cortina a few years ago, so i know what its like to have a car stolen, where it ended up it doesnt realy matter, scum of the earth regardless of what happend to it.
i also race, and have some fairly old and differnt cars, but ive paid honest money for them and 99% of racers do, its that tiny percent that means everyone gets slated.
and as for the punishment, sadly thats a police/courts issue, but in my view if there caught they should be taken to one side and shot.

well if it turns up on track it would stick out like a sore thumb, it isnt any old cortina that looks the same painted.
good luck getting it back whoevers taken it.

After trying to sell/swap/deal on this car, nothings come up so its time to cut my losses and make some money back by breaking the old girl.
shes on a late 70s reg plate, complete at the moment, good set of alloys, decent bumper, good cream leather interior.
All part are in chorley near preston, can post/courier at cost.
pm rather than reply because I'm more likely to notice!

Well, if youve clicked on this link, hello!
I'm not realy sure i want to do this, but i keep getting pangs for another cortina in my life, and its either the mini,capri or stellar that cops it, and i think the stellars the unlucky one.
bought it of a memeber on here a fair few months ago, put an mot on it, serviced most of the engine parts, changed oils etc and ive probably done 3 or 4 thousand miles in it, and its honestly never let me down, appart from a flat tyre!
my stellar is on a G, so i a later version,in non metalic light blue. it has springs shocker setup as a pose to double wishbone cortina based early ones. its a gsl model, so has central locking and electric windows, aswell as a heated rear screen! car is properly solid, theres no structural rust anywhere, theres a few little areas that have been sanded down to remove surface rust and have a thin skim of filler to prevent any surface rust coming back, but there restricted to 3 or 4 20p sized marks on the entire car. interior is good, but not amazing, some sun damage to the door cards and a couple of bits of cracked trim. it drives bob on, oil pressue when its warm isnt brilliant, but its had a new oil pump and its made no differnce, so it could be a dodgey gauge or just low oil pressure. it also has a slight whine in 3rd gear when you accelerate and let of, but theres no crunches and it engages the gear fine and never pops out etc.
il sort out some pictures when i sort out how to upload things!
I'm after a cortina I'm swap, only a cortina, not botherd which model, obviously a v8 mk2 estate would be lovely, but I'm realistic! it needs to have good test on it and not be an utter shed.I'm in no rush or massive want to get rid of it, so il be waiting for the right car.
car is located in the northwest, but if someones serious abowt doing an exchange I'm happy to drive/travel within reason a good distance.
feel free to pm me if your after any more details

as far as i know, the galaxy. and the the seat alhambra are the same thing underneath!
i would imagine the seat version would be cheaper. and the 2.3 in something that size wont be overly fun to drive, itl just be poor on fuel. diesel options gotta be the winner on a trip to spain!

same old comments, its such a shame another old fords been pinched, i lost my cortina 2 years ago, but the odds of it being stolen for scrap, stolen to be exported, or broken for parts,or have another identity put on it are as high as it being raced.
wind your neck in, and keep your eyes open for the lad.

i run a gsl 1.6 on a g reg as my daily! bought of a fellow rr member.
shes been a cracking motor, being a later one though, its on hyundai struts and i think in the end finding spares for these or a whiney 3rd gear may kill her of.
However much they look like a big lump, they drive better than a standard cortina,the axel stays where it should under load, and she runs better in the cold than my mk5 ever did!
there are a few left, dvla says 12, but i know of 2 in bolton/manchester aswell as mine,so unless boltons a stellar hot spot, there are a few survivors.

sad reality of it is, if you cant afford to insure it, you cant afford to have it.
