I love this one so much- Mk2 Cortinas are my favourite of all Cortina models. This one's quite a late one on a J reg, produced in 1970 which was the last year of production for the Mark II. I really like the colour of this one. The DVLA tells me the colour is purple- I must say I'm rather glad it seems to have undergone a respray. These are incredibly hard to see outside a show parked in the street, although you can expect to see at least one in most major car shows. In my opinion, the only thing letting this example down is the modern number plate. Oddly, the rear plate was yellow, also not original. Other than that, it was very original. The front fog lights and rostyles were standard on the high spec 1600E.

it was absolutely pouring with rain, and we had 60mph gusts when I took this photo, but I wasn't going to pass by this without a photo, whatever the weather!
