What is your favourite car of all time?

October 1970 saw the introduction of Ford's new range of Cortinas. The new Cortinas replaced the MkII and incorporated new "Coke bottle" styling, so named because of the distinctive high rear waistline curve. The Cortina MkIII quickly became one of the most significant family models of the 1970s. Produced in a total of 35 basic variants, the top of the tree, and the replacement for the much loved 1600E Mk2 Cortina was the 2000E. It featured twin-choke Weber carburation and many luxury fittings associated with the "E" such as wooden facia and door cappings, deep pile carpeting, which carried on up the door base and luxury velour seating. The 2000E was also available as an Estate version, which made for an extremely practical luxury car.

What is your favourite car of all time?

The Ford Corsair started life in 1964 and slotted into the Ford range between the established Cortina and Zephyr models. Using many parts common to the Cortina, the early Consul Corsairs as they were known, used the 1500cc Cortina engine. Later in 1965 Ford switched to 1700cc and 2-litre V4 units. The 2000E began life in 1967 and reflected Ford policy to have an "executive" model in all its ranges. The 2000E was "de-chromed" compared with standard Corsairs and featured a vinyl roof.
