First car I bought was a 1.6 Ford Capri then upgraded to the 2.8i
Over a grand to insure at the time can only imagine what a similar spec would be today for an 17 yo 
Pals were buying cortinas and XR3i’s but just took to the Capri from the off. |

There is a gorgeous Mk 1 cortina not far from me. He’s also got one of the last Capri 2.8 Ghia. But his most prized car is an American convertible ingorgoues white and light blue. Haven’t a clue what it is but it’s from the 50s I think. He keeps it very well hidden from view for obvious reasons. |

"My dad had a garage so seen loads of cars. My brother still has a Cosworth because it was his first car  "
Used to hate when a cosworth pulled up along side me at lights. always felt obliged to try burn him off but usually the cornering was the Capri downfall so often left eating his dust  |

Older cars have more character than the new ones.
On my way to work I walk past a house, the owner has a Morris Minor in the drive way.
It's not my cup of tea, but makes me smile as he certainly keeps it clean and tidy |

A friend had a Mk 5 cortina. It was a 1.6 but someone stuck the 2L Lotus engine in it - without changing the gearbox. Needless to say it used to make some awesome whining sounds....until he left the gearbox all over the road after about 9 months
But it was such fun to drive. You could spin it in a heartbeat |

"Why is it we remember more fords as fun than other makes?  "
They were reasonably cheap and easy to work on yourself before all the computerised crap started getting fitted . Most tv shows used cortina’s , granada’s And capri’s unless it was a jag .
Car not starting ? Take off distributer cap clean out condensation spray with wd40 job done all good again . |

It’s really good seeing someone looking after these 60’s/70’s cars. Really like seeing these cars getting driven around.
Must be hard to get parts though (Unless there’s a specialty group/collectors).

Had a few classics over the years like 4x4 Sierra cosworth, opal mantas, ford capris, cavalier sri but at the moment I've settled with a 22 year old 8 seater vw caravelle & a 15 year old vw T4
Still searching for another project but hands full with both of them at the moment

I’ve got a car that’s turned into a “project”
Since I got it in 2005, Renault Clio Mk2
Had sunroof resealed, the WHOLE underneath of the vehicle “undersealed”
Few wee other things I’ve had to hold off |

"Was it a 4dr in lotus colours, spotted it in arbroath, it looked stunning
Classic ford scene in Dundee is huge but most are kept in garages unless it's blistering sunshine "
it was in Arbroath and lotus colours but couldnt say if it was a 4 door or not, only got a couple of seconds look at it, would love to see it parked up and have a right proper look all over it |

"Yeh thatl be the one, it's a 4dr but looked mint.
Iv got a mk3 cortina and capri tucked away plus some other oldies.
Can't beat some old skool fords for the fun factor "
True. Canny whack most of the late 70’s “old skool” motors. (Even the TV programme “the professionals” used most of these) |

Yea, but when you see a car from 60’s/70’s still in good condition, then hats off to that person for looking after/maintaining a car to that standard |

Passed a brown mk1 escort in Rosyth a few days ago, was stunning. Love old cars and always (until the tax man came knocking) had yanks for last 20 years. Love ‘em.
If I could find an old 120A Datsun I’d be a happy man. |

My very first car was a Mk 1 Lotus Cortina. Amazing car, like all Mk1 Cortinas I did not think it looked particularly brilliant. Because of the tweaking by Lotus however it was bloody fast of the mark. Jim |
