1983 FORD CORTINA 3.0 MKV

3,000cc. This Ford Cortina MK 5 was imported from South Africa in 2016 and registered by the vendor in 2018. It has been subject to much rebuild expenditure including the 3.0 litre Essex V6 engine.

The upgrades included Gaz gold suspension, stainless custom exhaust, electric fuel pump, 5-bar rear axle, long range fuel tank, Swaymar Racing inlet manifold and Holley 4-barrel carburettor. A colour change from brown to white and full leather interior completed the transformation. The vendor advises that the car has been used only for classic cars shows and always parked-up for the winter months.
