The Great Train Robbery Getaway Car

[Mr Sam]

i also new the old owner who had it for years in devon

he once took all his lotus cortinas to powderham castle by lorry had his own marque for them

didnt even start one to put it on the transporter

that was about 10 year ago and the last time i saw his collection

i believe he bought it from the police, being the second owner, i could be wrong

 

 

im feeling.......'the great lotus cortina robbery'

 

 

what a greedy so and so and to just have them sat round

10 - and doesnt even start them - what a pointless waste of time - someone from here wants to take him out in their car cos he has clearly never been sideways in his pitiful life.........

In the write up it said alloy doors and boot lid? didnt think MK1 tinas had any alloy body panels

Only genuine Lotus Corinas did to save weight

 

Seen the car (Along with the touring cars) in the flesh when the Lotus Cortina Register used to go to Powderham, very very nice car!

I remember seeing it in Classic Ford a few years ago. There were only a couple of pics because it was an article about the owner or a cortina show rather than the car.
