I had a 4 year old beige 2.0GL mark 5. Turned out it was full of rust-got written off by a lorry outside the house-replaced it with a Granada 2.8Ghia auto.

thats a nice Cortina, always liked the Mk3, but have a real hankering for a Mk1 as we had one as a family car in the late 70's early 80's and I have fond memories of it.
