The Ford Cortina 2000 GT represents one of Britain's most beloved family cars of the 1970s, with the GT specification offering enhanced performance and sporting credentials over standard models. This particular example stands out, though, as it's the ultra-rare convertible variant converted in period by the well-known company Crayford.

The vendor tells us:

"I have inherited the car from my dad, we sadly lost him aged just 57 at the end of 2023. The car was his pride and joy, and he bought it from Londonderry in 2014. He had one in his younger years and was made up when he found one for sale, and an added bonus was that it’s convertible! He then spent 6 years restoring it, including a new vinyl roof, paint respray, upholstery and more recently, power-assisted steering. It has been kept in the garage since he acquired it and only driven on dry days!

"The Cortina is a stunning car. It turns heads whenever it is driven and I often get thumbs up from people as I drive by! The drive is surprisingly fun and comfortable considering the car is almost double my age! It’s the perfect convertible drive for a summer’s day."
