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 gearbox has been reconditioned and it has been fitted with a new clutch kit. In 2020, the car was featured in Retro Ford magazine following its rebuild, a copy of which is supplied in the file. 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. 

It comes complete with V5, some MoTs, receipts dating from 2019 to 2021, South African clearance certificate and DVLA letters. The mileage is recorded at 52,671.
