Used to own one, would love one now...

Not that good a memory apparently 2.2Pinto engine.



Looks like nobody can hide for long online, even works of Art like this can be found...


Looks like it ran Red up to 2011....makes me wonder if it was a genuine Lotus, unless they ran it Red with gold stripes.

 

That's probably not a lotus, why would you change the ultimate cortina

 

Mini for me, rebuilt one as a 1275 cooper S, it went like a rocket and was great fun. Sold it to my cousin and afaik he took it apart to put a stroked and over bored engine in, don't think he ever finished it and I suspect he scrapped it before moving abroad

I had an old Ford Classic. It was like the Anglia's big brother in looks. Quite a long history on it (that I cba to type on a mobile phone ) but it was quite tatty by the time it came into my possession. The hydraulic clutch had a leak, which was a great education in crash gear changes. The 3 bearing crank 1500 pre-crossflow engine was woefully underpowered for the huge heavy body. There again the brakes and ocean-swell handling wouldn't be up to any more speed anyway. I was a poor student at the time and had no hope of being in a position to do it justice as regards restoring it, so I sold it to a chap in Nuneaton who restored old cars. It was the gorgeous old car smell that evokes the memory. A boot so cavernous it could fit 3 people inside (yes, I was one of them!) and a big front bench seat that I took great delight in sliding my mates on by swift cornering. Ahhh...
