Cortina/Taunus
Ford Cortina/Taunus. 54 pages of instructions, so it should be good.

Believe it or not, I was actually looking for dairy cows when I found this.
It's amazing what you trip over whilst surfin' ain't it! The instructions are very well put together with plenty of photos. I just love the way he forms the body panel curves by gluing shapes to the back and buffing the front with a spoon to form the ridges. 54 pages (56 if you include the number key pages) of instructions for a 4 page model which could have fitted on two pages, and it gives alternative parts to build as either a Cortina or a Taunus. Methinks the guy is a professional designer. Any one heard of him? D. Bravo .. from Mechanical Horses, somewhere in Spain. Johnny. |

You are sooooooooo lucky.... the MkIII is to die for ! I drove one way back, what a rush that was. I was young and this was one of the first cars i had the pleasure to drive. The guy who owned it allowed me to drive a few times a week. When i think of how she felt compared to the ride i own now {A Proton Wira 1.5} which is a nice enough ride but a pussy in reality. I always felt like i had a proper car back then, you could feel the road, and the car was a beauty to drive. When i get chance i will build the model {the link really made my day} and perhaps try to redesign the the front end to that of my avatar

Yeah, I've had a couple of 'Tinas, 10 year or so back now. Not sure what mark they were, I just know that they definitely weren't Mk1 or this coke bottle one, which I assume is a Mk4. I've also had a couple of Caprii too ... Tina wins out every time though. The Dagenham built Caprii were real tin cans. Pretty body shape, but just slung together. I never found a dud Grannie though. Methinks that's a Grannie in your avatar Peter.

Eat yer heart out Peter ... I've recently parted company with a Mk2 Jag, and I'm currently playing with an old Range Rover Classic. They drink like Georgie Best though, so there's also a wee Corsa SXi for use as a shopping trolley. When the Rangie is finished I'm hoping to go back to my real love though ... the '68-'72 Citroen DS21, but the prices for good ones are up in the stratophere now.
