No pics but my first cortina in 92 a mk5 2.0 gl spent a fortune having it welded up for mot with new brakes shockers void bushes and a paint job all my mates had minis so i put cooper stripes on it my present mk 5 sports a set in its memory i had it 3 months and thrashed it got a new engine but scrapped the lot..... In 95 or96 i bought a mk2 1600e cortina in purple with full test for £500 had it about 6 month sold it for £300 WHY, and finally in 98 i bought a seriously tuned mk3 capri 3.0s out of the loot, the free ads paper the ad read buy engine get free car it was a beast i put a half leather recaro trim in it then a mate offered my a mk3 granny and a bit of cash, and the rest is ......regret.

I've never owned a car that I worried about selling.

 

I would be upset if I had to sell either my R32 or the RS, both which I presently own

[sab6024]

My top three are:

 

1. My Capri 1.6LS, sold it last year and bought a Mk2 Ka for work

 

2. A red Mk1 Escort which I had nothing but trouble with. Went to my ex who still has her and hillclimbs it now

 

3. I never sold this car, but my first car, Mk1 Escort, which I rolled one night when I was showing off (to the now ex that has the red one) was gonna do the work but a wall fell on it first....just wish I moved her before to wall accident, I'd probably still have her now

Mine are :

1 Mk1 mex in olympic blue RCA 328M

 

2 MK2 rally rep (crashed not sold) PON 14R

 

3 MK2 estate in venitian red 's' reg sold it in 1992 for 20 pounds

[YOUNGY]

1. Mk2 RS2000 PAY 107R done all the work and then sold it, why i don't know.

2. Mk2 1600e cortina BGP 766H spent a fortune on the engine and box, used to go really well, if i could buy it back i would.

3. Sierra 2.9i ghia 4x4 estate spent loads of money on it, used to be very fast, used to surprise a few people. G699 YGV.

 

Thats just a few of them. If only we knew then what we know now.

1. My Mk2 XR2 p/exed for a Mk6 Escort Diesel Estate, seemed like a good idea at the time......

2. Dutton Phaeton S2 which ran a 2.0pinto, sold to a man in Germany, because I wasn't using it enough.....

3.Citroen Dyane, brilliant laugh once you'd wound it up, sold it for £175 with a knackered engine cos I'd had enough of french wierdness....
