Pretty certain that's the GT badge not the Lotus, but I will bow gracefully if proved wrong

The 'F' word is OK, it is a Ford Cortina Mk1 GT (so a 1500 engine)

Bristolian has mentioned the 'L' word, but why is it wrong ?

DM points to the snot-green stripe, it too is misleading.

The Consul Cortina?

No, what I had hoped for (and Bristolian was getting there) was for someone to say 'MK1 Lotus Cortina' but it can't be a Lotus Cortina for one (or rather two) very good reasons, excluding the GT badge.

The Lotus Cortina was only available as a 2 door and your photo was a 4 door!!

Correct - It's a MK1 GT painted to look like a Lotus but you can't just paint over two extra doors.

Post by **Nereus** » Wed Jul 03, 2013 3:34 pm

It has 4 doors, should only have two.

edit: if you see a laptop flying past towards the ocean it just may be this load of crap!
Just taken 10 minutes to post this!

So this must be the real Macoy in identical colour scheme

Certainly looks correct - 2 door and the split front bumpers!!

Some of the prices being asked for other cars are hair raising!
1 million baht for a good condition MGA is not a bad price and compares well with what you would need to pay in the UK.

The MGA is a bargain when you consider the Mini Coopers are £40,000 unless I read it wrong,who would pay that for a Mini.

It's a bit quiet today, so another car challenge

It's a Hillman Imp, is it a GT ?

Good try Frank, but its not a Hillman Imp - that should make it easy now!

Post by **Bristolian** » Thu Jul 04, 2013 4:44 pm

could be a Singer or Hilman Chamois Imp (sloping back)

Would a Challenge thread about automobiles be of interest?
