Re: Mk 1 Lotus Cortina on BAT

Withdrawn. Lots of questions regarding authenticity. Oh dear. Gary in AZ For once this may have been someone getting their hands on the car, believing it was genuine based on the look of the car and the paperwork which accompanied it.

Re: issue with icon?

I had given up ages ago trying to use the tools on this site, I create picture codes on a different site and use them here with never an issue.
