A very solid original one owner car.
1982 Ford Cortina 2.0 GL. RHD import from South Africa, with all tax and duty paid. Now fully UK registered as WJR 728Y. This is a one owner car, which is extremely solid and never been welded. It starts, runs and drives but may need a little fettling to improve it. We have the original handbooks and service book with the car. Car was also on the road properly in 2022.
Bodywork.
Mk5 Cortina. Never been welded and super solid and original underneath. Looks like all original panels. Has had a bit of paintwork on the rear offisde quarter at some point. Few minor marks and a couple of polishing rub throughs. Has a small ding on lower front panel on the nearside. Overall though it’s very good for its age and very original. Good full chrome SA spec bumpers. Towbar fitted.
Mechanics.
Good 2.0 pinto and 4 speed box. Car starts, runs and drives well. Carb may need a bit of adjustment for UK climate. SA spec Mk5s had a 5 link rear end which is way more stable than a UK equivalent. Brakes , clutch and gearbox are all good. Bit of play in steering felt on test drive.
Interior.
All original and tidy. No rips or tears. Couple of small cracks on dash top, good door cards, headlining. Original boot carpet still intact.
Wheels.
UK spec deep dish steels with good 185/60/13 tyres and chrome centre caps and nuts.
Our thoughts.
Lovely old one owner car, which is very solid but will need a bit tinkering to get it up to scratch. You are welcome to come and see the car and we have a ramp so you can look underneath. Delivery can be arranged if required. Please ask for a delivery quote or contact us with any questions. Thanks for looking.
