was just reading classic ford

and as a car enthusiast of old mk1/2 cortinas
was wondering if any about ireland ?

mk1 2dr or estate
mk2 2dr or estate

i seen an awesome silver mk1 4dr in craigavon last week

as i dont see any 60's car driving about it was cool to see, you do see the odd one at car shows but no daily drivers

whats it like down south with old cars driving around

thanks

It was turquoisey, an older gentleman was selling it said he'd had it about 5 years.... had a price of €2000 in the windscreen but didn't get any interest i don't think.

hoho the price is coming down.....was about €5000 i think....well worth €2000 i think...pretty solid old bus...I bought it off the naas road near Johnson haulage....I told the guy I liked it and would buy it if I had the money and he said Take it away and pay me when you can! So I did....paid him the next week....800 i seem to recall....very decent sort....he was amazed that I intended to drive it home to Cork there and then....

this is mine...must get around to telling the Missus about it.... (and soon before she finds out...)

not quite estate related, but a friend of mine was working on an original Irish Savage Cortina MkII. no pics before you ask, friend's gone to England and the car is back with its owner as far as i know.

Nice shed kyote00. Do you mind me asking what it cost you and if you had any problem getting planning for it? Is it high enough inside for a 2 post lift?Looking to build something similar myself soon.
