Lovely job Malc, and fantastic fleet. I prefer the MkII to the MkI Wouldnt mind one myself, although that MkI Escort is giving me a twinge. Is it a real Mexico?
To be honest, I think they are better than a mope pound for pound.
Keep the pictures coming. Will be great to see them coming along.

I ca\n just picture that floor with half a chicken, corn on the cob and some spuds on it, and me sitting down getting ready to tuck in. Yep, I think I could eat my dinner off it.

Very impressive Mal. Mk1 or Mk2 for me please
But werent the MkIIs called Ford Cortina Lotus, rather than Lotus Cortina?
Summat to do with the fact that they were built by Ford at Dagenham and not by Lotus, cos it was around the time that Lotus moved from Cheshunt to Norwich...
