Cortina Owners & Dick Emery



With some very nice vehicles in the background.

It's probably "offensive" these days, but I really can't see why.

My Father had a yellow Cortina in the early 70’s. Meant to be a step up from my Mothers Austin Cambridge which she’d just got from trading in her old Morris Minor with those sticky up indicators on the side. The Reg. No. was 5JMN, but everyone had that sort of plate back then.

In truth, they were all terrible cars. If they weren’t breaking down, then then suffered from rust. I can never understand why people restore them. Best forgotten. Thumbs Up

Had at least 5 Cortinas during the early seventies and before that 2 Camrdidges as well as a Minor -- none of them ever broke down on me BUT I do confess the ''tin worm'' had got at them!

Dad had several Cortina company cars 70s and 80s, he loved them all and they were very reliable and he did huge mileage in them.
His first BL cars were a different story, a Marina and a Princess that spent more time in the garage than on the road.
The boss at work then had a 2.3 Mk 4 Cortina that we used to hoon about in.
I actually saw a Mk 4 on the road yesterday, a rare sight now.

I have vivid recollections when I was a kid of going south to London in the rear of the Morris Minor over the Dava Moor near Nairn. Del will know where that is.

We had only been going an hour and behold the car developed a fire in the engine compartment, smoke everywhere. We stopped, my father got water from a nearby burn and dowsed the fire. We then continued on our way. Nothing was ever said. I then lived in fear of that car. I was quite sure I was going to get burnt to death in it. Whistle

Mind you, you couldn’t do that with the cars if today, I’ll give you that.

^^ No wonder you are complaining about them going rusty: chucking buckets of water over the important bits isn't exactly going to help! Laughing

We had only been going an hour and behold the car developed a fire in the engine compartment, smoke everywhere.

And years later we drive a Discovery Rolling with laughter

Loved our family Morris minor,

Oh, that Morris Minor was fated. When we were nearing London at Lakenheath Airbase, I thought my time had come. I didn’t appreciate the terrible noise was the jets! I thought the car engine was going to explode.
