Today for our 'Thursday Throwback' Classic we raided our archives and found this gorgeous Ford Cortina mk3. It was produced between 1970-1976 and for the first time was more or less exactly the same car as the German Taunus. It was based on the then contemporary 'coke bottle' design language that had swept the American market.. and it worked its magic this side of the Atlantic too.... it was Britain's top selling car from '72-'76.
Alas they were so common that few thought it was worth saving any, and today they are rare sights even at Classic car shows!
