thanks for all comments,,i must admit i have always had american cars in the past,pontiac,chevy ,mustang,,i cant get used to the cortina,my wife did drive it everyday to work and back,and used to drive at weekends,but now its in the garage most of the time,so i dont honestly know how long i am going to hang on to it,not the best time to sell at the moment but its not eating anything in the garage!i do get a hell of alot of attention when we do go out in it,people take pics of it even when we went to a local garden centre,,,daz
