The Appeal

Cars built to work, like this P100 ‘Bakkie’ pickup, tend to lead hard lives that mean few survive to become extremely rare classics. Not so this time-warp 1975 Mk2 example. We’re told it was never a workhorse, which explains why its beige paintwork and vinyl interior still look so good 51 years after it left the factory.

This is a classic that is both practical and stylish. Beneath the hood sits Ford’s legendary 1.600cc Kent Crossflow engine, said to run and drive well. The vendor advises it has received recent investment. He is only the car’s second owner, having acquired it from a deceased estate and kept it securely and carefully as part of his large collection.

For those seeking an unspoiled Cortina Pickup with honest preservation, this one warrants serious attention.
