There are many invoices that accompany this Cortina.

The original invoice for the ‘savage’ conversion shows that extras were supplied and fitted.
• Pair of Traveller reclining front seats with sub-frames and runners
• Weathershields Sunway slimline folding roof
• Rostyle wheels
• Lucas quartz halogen headlamp conversion
• Twin spot lights (Silver Sabre) with a two position switch
• Matching wing mirror and static seat belts.

This invoice nearly doubles the costs of this Cortina when new.

In 2002, the engine, radiator and brakes received an overhaul.
A new set of carpets were fitted and a pair of uprated shock absorbers were fitted in 2003.

In January 2005 the car was purchased by an enthusiast and collector of Savage Cortinas, during the current ownership, a fully comprehensive restoration has been carried out, costing approximately £45,000.00 and included numerous upgrades that were available in period from Jeff Uren Ltd.

The car has been repainted to the correct specification white, with hand-painted coachline pin-stripes in red.

Other items that have been renewed, include all new exact and correct reproduction badges, a pair of uprated rear leaf springs and vented front brake discs.
Contour 6 seats and rear seats in leather have now been fitted.

Interestingly, an original, but never used Sunway roof has been fitted, to replace the identical original roof.
A genuine period and fully functioning Ford radio unit has been sourced and fitted.

During the restoration, the engine was sent to Oselli for a full rebuild to 60" oversize and upgrade to Oselli '230' specification of 3.1 litres with a DFI5 single carburettor.

Swaymar exhaust manifolds with a Chris Tullett bespoke stainless steel exhaust system have been fitted.
A rebuilt Mark 1 Capri gearbox has been installed with a 3.09 ratio Capri limited slip differential.

In July 2010, further minor works were carried out, including an oil and filter change and fitment of a new clutch master cylinder.

Since then the front suspension has been fully overhauled and the overdrive unit re-conditioned.

This Cortina comes complete with a great history file with letters dating back to when it was new
