Re: Ford Cortina MK2 Auto - Potential project or parts only?

Thanks Brett,

Parked next to it are the remnants of an early Mk2 Cortina that was a 1500GT. I suspect that the engine from this is now in the auto so you could be right, it could be an L block.

I'll bear that in mind.

Ford Cortina MK2 Auto - Potential project or parts only?

I have a friend who is looking to get rid of his car collection. Most are brave project cars or spares only but he has a 2 Door Cortina MK2 Auto. I believe it to be a 1500 based on what little I have seen under the bonnet (looks to have a 1500 GT pre crossflow inlet manifold) so I don't know if that...

What MK2 Cortina parts fit on an Anglia?

I might have access to a rotten Mk2 Cortina (or what is left of it) and I'm just wondering if there are any desirable upgrade parts to take off it. I know that with some modification, the front struts are a popular item for conversion to disc brakes and I believe the transmission is all synchro and ...

Re: Old poster returning with a 105e Estate

Well, shipping is no provisionally booked for June 12th! So I should receive it later that month. In the meantime my brother and dad started looking over it today to see what it needs to get running. I have a new stainless exhaust system being sent there next week for starters. In the meantime, ther...

Good luck,

Pete
Hi again Pete, yes it has the original engine, 997cc

Old poster returning with a 105e Estate

Hi All, I've been a long time lurker/poster in here as a British Expat due to my dad having a 105E back home, and my desire to potentially get a European Ford out here. Well that time has come! Long story short, my father found a LHD estate in France as a barn find and has decided he doesnt want it ...

Capri I

Does anyone on here have a Ford (Mercury) Capri 1? I'm looking to buy one and having a hard time finding out much about them here in the US.
