End of a chapter - Cortina !

Post by Cortina »

After approx 12 years of stage rallying Mk1 Cortinas , I am selling (clearing out) all of the bits and pieces that I built up over time - mostly as a result of building one of the cars from a standard road car.
Amazing what you build up - I did not realise I had so much , till I saw it mostly in one place.
Maybe in 10 or 15 years I'll do the same with SWB 911 stuff !!!
Royal Enfield .. still in India
GL 1800 Tour DCT, for pleasure / Fantic 240 Professional - play
Rally 911 (1966) build parked for a while
Rally 928 (work started again - inc serious weight loss programe !)
.... and now another VW Up GTI owner.
