I'm amazed at how much old fords cost now!! It's incredible! When I think back to what I could have bought in the days when I first passed my test it makes me cry (not literally of course). I thought you might be interested in this list (from what I can remember) of Fords that I could have bought and didn't back in the 80's.
Mk1 Cortina 2 Door with 4" Roof Chop, and 3.1 Litre V6 Unfinshed Project £500
