1970 Ford Cortina 1600 E For Sale by Auction

Same family ownership since 1992

Rare non-vinyl roof model
Comes with a receipt of sale
Here we have a very charming Ford Cortina 1600E finished in the very rare colour of Saluki Bronze, which has a very nice story to tell, and we are indebted to the vendor for providing us with the following information:
“There is some history with the documents of the previous owners and that it was a demonstrator, etc. and it’s been in Liverpool all its life.
Ever since I was a kid, it was on Mather Ave in L18. I think you said you were familiar with that area, anyway, we lived off Rose Lane and an old guy owned the car but it hardly moved and my dad tried to buy it often knocking on the house. This went on for years but he would never sell, but finally did in about 1994 as he struggled to drive it.
It was used as a family car for a short while. It was then parked for some repairs; I believe it had an engine rebuild in 1999.
I believe the milage to be genuine at 47k, just by the fact that it’s not been used in that time. It’s had 3 MOTs since purchased and are all present with the car.
It’s been in my lockup for 20 years; I did get it on the road in 2010 but didn’t cover many miles. The plan was to get it done properly but family life, time and money and having a classic Escort meant it hasn’t happened and is unlikely to anytime soon.
It’s difficult to let it go but I think the time is right and looking forward to seeing it again in the auction.”
This hopefully gives you an indication in how much this car means to the Vendor and his family. The car is in need of restoration, but I am sure it would be a very rewarding one, as it has a great story and what appears to be a very low and credible mileage. The car is even still coated in the dust that it has gathered whilst in storage over the years. Definitely one to come and see, and invest in.
