How would the insurance company insure it, as a classic car,or current value ? My insurance company would think i was winding them up insuring my mk5 with a value of 9 grand. :}

Fantastic! Just imagine you took it out on the road and it got bent though.

I hope whoever has bought it has got somewhere decent to store it. I'm a firm believer in old cars being used rather than on display in museums. However, I think this one is an exception.

From what I remember of the old Cortina, it takes a LOT to do them any damage :L :naughty:

I had a Y reg 2.3 Ghia (with electric windows and central locking that i converted + a moss security alarm with total closure) had it not hit a tree trunk after some rumpy pumpy in the woods i would probably still have it now.It was so flash,even the tape deck had rewind on it and auto track search,not to mention the graphic equilizer.

[IanManchester]

how does it work regarding an mot??? - since the car is brand new i guess it wouldnt be due one for 3 years?? - wonder if it will pass the emmitions test?

[Arkady]

It's not brand new - it's 23 years old or whatever. Just because it hasn't been driven or registered etc etc...

[Rhinestone]

Same condition as when it rolled off the production line?
So It wont start then :} :} :}

Seriously though! That is in awesome condition. I'd love to have that in my garage.

Just heard that the guy that does my MOTs bid £6000 for it :O

[MONDYMANv6]

[newtron666]

8,900 for that !! someones got a bargain !
YEAH RIGHT !!!!
SOMEONE NEEDS A CHECK UP FROM THE NECK UP !! :} :} :} :} :}
