Chris Nash (gnasher214 on Instagram) recently dropped me an email to show us his BEAUTIFUL Mk1 Cortina estate! 😃









Its a 1200 Deluxe model and it actually sat on top of the Thames Trader in (see pics 8 & 9) for a number of years as a show piece.
Pic 7 shows the car on the day Chris collected it and it was barely running at the time. After some TLC, including removing the electronic ignition and converting it back to a points and condenser setup, the car now runs alot better.
The banded steel wheels that Chris has fitted massively improve the looks of the car and Im sure will also help with grip levels. Chris is also currently in the process of fitting quarter bumpers.
Im loving this 'long roof' 'Tina and she may be coming to a video on my channel at some point in the future.
Thanks for getting in touch Chris! 👍
