Just seen one sitting in traffic

It actually looked really classy among the silver jelly moulds.

The roman bronze colour probably helped.

A perfect example of the ever shrinking scale of the average family car….

Back in the day they were a good size car with plenty room for the average family which the standard Cortina model was always aimed at….

There is a mark 1 that is owned by a guy who works opposite my work - it's immaculate.

I've even been lucky enough to sit in it too - I'm such a child lol

A guy that lives near to us owns the police Ford Anglia they used for heartbeat.

I once got to sit in it and start it up.

It was a lot smaller than I ever remembered in the 60s.

Classic cars are really much better looking than today's, that all look like copies of each other.

As a really young kid I remember most families around us were split into two camps with either a Ford Cortina or a Vauxhall Viva and then there was my old man doing his best to buck the trend with a Sunbeam Rapier….

I think cars are going the other way and getting bigger. I have an old Volvo estate and it is dwarfed by most modern things now. I have had no end of times when I can't see it in amongst a car park of more modern cars.

Yes I'd agree that big cars are getting bigger,,,,, but the average modern family car seems to be getting smaller inline with the increasing cost of modern motoring….!.

I see more families running about in Focus sized cars rather than a Mondeo size car which would naturally follow the evolutionary line of Cortina and its replacement the Sierra....

Don't understand why vw don't bring out a retro looking van like they did with the beetle. Bound to sell squillions
