You missed my Mk1 Cortina! It was a great show, much busier than normal and I got sunburnt!

Okay thanks, National are recon units and I can get those cheaper at my local motor factors. Cheers anyway.

Is that £45 delivered and what make is it please?

Good luck, I've been looking for 2 years, they never come up for sale.

Gorgeous!

^ sorry it was a GT! I misread the OP, it came with a pair of genuine new Mexico wings though.

I have a Jan 1980 colour chart here, It looks like Corsican Blue. and this is listed as Corsican blue in the brochure.

I drive these, Oh yeah, I live the dream alright.

Don't be so sure, they made me park my Cortina right in front of the burger van (The one the otherside of the OSF stand hedge)and i ended up with people walking into my car, leaning against it and even letting the children stand on the bonnet!

I had a great day at the show as well, I've been meaning to go for years, If you have a flickr account you can see they photos I've took, I took over 200, quite a few of your cars are in them!. http://www.flickr.com/photos/triggersca ... 897410560/

I often saw that parked on the driveway of a house near me, Sat there for quite a while, I often thought about knocking to see if it was for sale, It's looks great.

After selling my BMW 1602 last week I've been on the look out for something else to replace it, I've always been a big Ford fan so imagine my excitement on Sunday when i saw this come up for sale locally for only £995. http://www.carandclassic.co.uk/car/C169982/ I rang the owner to be told about how it was his recently deceased dad's and needed to move it on, But sadly there was someone on their way round to view it and that he'd ring me back if it sold. 20 Minutes later i get a call to say that it had (unsurprisingly) sold, I was gutted but i hoped that at least someone else would get to enjoy it. So imagine my anger tonight when i see that it's now on ebay http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/1969-FORD-CORTINA ... 4151547c34 Surprise surprise it was bought by a dealer who was after a quick buck, Got the right old hump now.

As the others have said, If it's free and you have the room then get it!, If the worse comes to the worse I'm sure a banger boy would still give you a good price for it (Not that i agree with banger racing classics).

I saw Blue Pearl earlier this year at a show
