1975 Ford Cortina 3. 0 XLE. RHD import from South AFrica which starts runs and drives. The previously owner we are told had this vehicle from new. Its pretty good on the floors but unfortunately over the years there has been a few diy repairs which has let it a bit cosmetically challenged. Really needs a restoration but not a bad starting point and rare being a 3. 0 factory model. All the taxi and duty has been paid and the NOVA done. We will complete all the paperwork to UK register it for the new owner.
Body - Good inner wings, floors in the main are decent. Good chassis rails and door posts. Evidence of diy repairs on scuttle ends, offside rear inner arch (see it when you open osr door), n/ s sill, spare wheel well. These area will all need investigated and repaired properly. Repair needed on nsf floor pan. Small hole in lower front panel and evidence of repairs on both lower rear quarters at the bottoms. Good bonnet and bootlid. The bonnet is the larger v6 one with the bigger hump at the front. Doors are useable but have a bit of bubbling at the bottom. Paintwork looks to have been entrusted to "Ronnie Rattle Can" and there are loads of diy touch ups. This is not a car thats been tarted up to sell but one thats been kept going but whoevers worked on it appears to have been a bit limited on their bodywork skills. It definitely looks better in the pics than it is in reality. Best to come and see it. Chromework is fairly straight but bit damage to rubbing strips on bumpers.
Mechanics - 3. 0 Factory engine. starts no problem. Little bit smokey till it warms up. Doesnt appear to be getting full throttle. Cable needs replaced. Brakes and clutch work. We have only driven it round the industrial estate so it would need a good checkover. Standard 4 speed box despite the 5 speed gearknob. Will need serviced as a minimum and the carb adjusted due to the different climate.
Interior - Good dash top. Door cards look original but need a deep clean. Seats have been recovered. They follow the original pattern but are the wrong material and filthy. Headlining has a few rips and needs replaced
Wheels - standard steels with factory colour coded hubcaps.
This car is a bit of a project for sure but definitely not a basket case as in the main the floors are sound. Please feel free to come and see the car. we have a ramp so you can look underneath. Delivery can be arranged if required. Please ask for a quote.
