Hi everyone,


Welcome to my listing for this very rare Meadow Green Ford Cortina Mk5 Estate 1.6L (Some may say a unicorn in disguise) it was bought to be part of my collection, however, the reality is I am just far too busy at present to get close to doing it.  Some key points about the car below that are worth noting: 



The car is presented as a running car. On a visual inspection all the levels are correct and the dashboard illuminates correctly. It will Require a full overhaul including belts, fluids etc. I have just fitted a brand new battery to get it going. 


Bodywork: 


Bodily the car is presented in as close to as original condition as you will find for one of these. You will see the grill has now been changed back to an original one. Around 5-10 years ago the car had a lot of money spent on restoring it but unfortunately since it got out off the road it’s sat in a garage where recently it has just been brought back out awaiting its new owner to hopefully recommission. I have over 50 photos of the car both on top and underneath highlighting the good, the bad and the ugly. There is numerous marks and rust spots starting to show through but I have tried to keep it as it. The bonnet has been painted before, and I am led to believe the rear boot floor has also been replaced at some point. I was pleasantly surprised with underneath outwith the sills that will require some work. It is a very genuine car. 


Mechanical: 


As mentioned earlier, the car starts and moves. It came as a non runner. The brake pedal is sinking to the floor obviously due to sitting so this will need rectified. 


Interior:


The interior of the car is still in very good order. It is free from any major damage, and has no rips or tears. It could do with a valet. The rear Carpet and head lining is in good order and the spare wheel and tools are also present. 


Summary: 


It was lovingly owned by the previous owner and I want to assure it ends up in the right hands. The car is being sold on a purely ‘Spares or Repair* PROJECT CAR basis. Anyone that knows these will now how rare a site this actually is. I am expecting a lot of interest and will answer all questions as openly and honestly as I can. I have had strong values from numerous auction houses so to be clear I will not be giving the car away. It needs to go to someone that knows these cars and is willing to put the work into it to get it back to its best. 


Viewing is HIGHLY recommended prior to bidding. If not then your final bid will be taken as satisfaction of the above description. 


This will be sold with no reserve, NO BUY IT NOW messages. This keeps it fair for all ebayers. 


Any questions will be through eBay strictly. 


Thanks for looking.

Hi everyone, just an update, noticed the ignition barrel can be temperamental so this will need looked at, most likely due to it being sitting for a while. Thanks for all the interest so far.
