@davebev5 - I used to own this very car in the mid-2000s. It's looking pretty smart in your video. I see it's SORN'd now (since 2018) - do you know what became of it?

"not concours" , well ok if you day so, still looked pretty tidy to me though!

That's some dam good mpg...wow

My old motor, looking good mate

Love the car mate, really clean ride. I’ve grown up with Cortina’s always in my life. I currently have 2x 73’ preface lifts 1 of which I’m currently doing a rebuild on (I’m trying to track down some 2 door panels and doors to covert during the rebuild). Quick question, what is the paint code for Pacific Blue? We had a colour similar here in Aus but is a little darker, I would love to paint mine this colour.

Hermoso auto.. Tengo uno.. Pero no se si me pueden ayudar necesito conseguir repuestos.. Soy de Ecuador...

Great car very nice blue good looking

I owned one. Fantastic. But rusty.

Stunning car love these early examples and I’m quite jealous

That is a beautiful car my good man I absolutely love it and a fabulous colour thanks so much for sharing I could watch vids like this about mk3 cortinas all day 🙏👍

Beautiful Car

I never knew the clock was on the left side on the very early models!

i thought early mk3 didnt have pinto motors???? am i wrong? my grandad had a mk3 estate L reg would that have a sloping dash?

Sounds like a BMW E30 325i!

If this is a B+ what do you have to do to get a top A ;) Lovely car!

Dave. Is this your car as someone listed it on ebay for 1 day and the ad dissappeared one day later. Manged to contact the seller who now owns it due to death in famliy, but she lives in Germany or so she says. May i ask when you sold it ?

Lovely RHD A2 Monza

what outstanding mk3 cortina you should get Pete c round he would love this

Thank you for putting this video on, it was great to see your lovely looking J reg Mk.3.I own 3 of the series 2 models, two made in 1974 and one made in 1975 and am restoring one of the 1974 cars on my channel, (it is a very rare one model wise, and was made by FoMoCo as one of their Promotional cars, (the only surviving one!), have owned it for 44 years, and when bought it only had 250 miles on the clock, so as you can tell I adore these cars, very impressed with yours, she gets a like from me and a share on the Facebook Ford cortina Mk,3, Owners Register page, as she deserves more than just 56 views, and three likes.

Do you still own this van?

Lovely car. Is the red paint original?

In Brazil, this car's name is CHEVROLET Monza. Hatch and Sedan. Two or four doors.

The Monza is like a MK1 Senator coupe.

Do you know why Opel cars are rebadged into Vauxhall in the UK? Vauxhall used to make it's own cars in the 60's, began to use slightly changed Opel models in the 70's (Cavalier = Ascona B with Manta B front for example) and from the Kadett D (or Astra MK I) on they just copy Opel cars. And in Ireland Vauxhall is Opel again. I've always found this very annoying and never understood the marketing idea behind it.

Was there a Vauxhall version of the Opel Monza?

Fantastic car. I love these '70s/'80s luxo cars.

Why is the horn bolted to the engine?

Motor OK, der Rest leider nur Gammel und keine 100 Euro mehr wert.

Pěkný auto.

cool
