Gordini---The vehicle in the background belongs to the person who took the photos

I think . Not a Chev C10.

The rims have to be respayed, new ligths at the back and all the black has to be

redone. Apart from that a good service will be done including new waterpipes. The mecanic

decided to fit new wheelbearings.That is basically all. I do not think the work will

be that expensive.

Yes, I cannot describe it,but I am very excited about this Cortina. The mechanic told me

this morning that the 3litre engin runs absolutely silkysmooth. Apart from the

fact that it had one elderly owner rust is totally absent.

The Cortina has beige seats.I do not think it is genuine leather , maybe

a durable vynal. The seats were covered from day one and are as new.Also

the carpets. Your dad will remember the very big bold headrests on front seats.

It is interesting to note that Ford indicates the colour code of this Cortina

as OC(in the owners manual) and the colour is not called "Yellow" but "Wild Primrose"

Johan that is the same color yes, and yeh thet do have rather large head rests...

I will get my dad's 30S out the garage and take some pics for you.

yes the seats are not genuine leather but vinyl as from the factory.

My dads car now has 90k on the clock if I remember correctly.

Enjoy her!!!
