Well. having just sold my yellow Mark 3 1600 auto. here is another Mark 3 in exactly the same colour. This time it's a manual. First owner kept her for 42 years and the current speedo reading is 18. 00 miles. The chap I bought her from tells me that he was told it was correct. I took him at his word. There's quite a large history folder and clearly she has travelled just 300 miles in the past 10 years. The oldest bill I can find which includes a mileage is from 1995 and the speedo reading was just 13. 00. So. I am not saying that this is. quite categorically. an 18k mile classic. However I am suggesting that it could well be true and that the above evidence is what I have discovered. She is an eye-catcher of a classic in Daytona Yellow with beige velour interior. She has been painted at some stage in her life although she does not appear to be a "restored car. " She drives well. and pulls strongly. She has been converted to run on unleaded fuel and has a certificate to back that up. It looks as though she was also Zeibarted (rust-proofed) at new and this will have gone a long way towards preserving her body. I have just removed some kind of sticky cellophane from her door checks which looked as though it had been there for 43 years. There are traces of it left but the original yellow paint is there underneath. The black covering on the sills could easily be removed if you so wished. She has a tidy engine bay too. For the benefit of newcomers to the classic car scene. I am now starting to point out that all these old girls are motoring antiques. They are not exactly the same as your wife's six-month-old Range Rover and they do have quirks. flaws and any manner of things associated with the passage of time. In the instance of this Cortina. that amounts to 43 years! I accept all major debit/credit cards and a ten per cent deposit is required at the point of sale with the balance due within three days. I can also help with delivery and so please ask for a quote. Thanks. Martin (07595-020282).
