The Rare Mk1 Cortina Pressed Grille..

[Swansongrecords]

Hello all.

right just so you know, i'm 15. When i was a lot younger, we had a rare Mk1 Cortina. we had it a long time until i was around the age of 8... Then my dad sold it because it was simply stood and not doing anything. From what i beleive, some ponse with a ginger beard bought it and sold it on not long later (i beleive my dad found the advert) being that it is rare, from what i understand it was one of two in the country. Its probably in someones shed out there right now, and i'm putting up this topic to ask if anybody on here knows the owner. I mean, i know you can contact the DVLA and all that, but i just fancied popping the question on here first.

 

So basically, its got a pressed grille. I dont remember much of it, apart from the fact it was white when we had it, grey before my dad restored it, and it had a red/brown (i beleive red) interior. Havn't got the reg either, but being one of two it cant be hard to notice it being different.

 

Sorry i'm so vague, but i was young and i don't remember much!

 

Many regards,

 

Jono.

if your talking about a fleet model i didn't know there were

only two of them + without the reg number i dont think

you will have much luck finding it.
