1973 Ford Cortina 2.0 GXL Restored SOLD

This is for my beautiful MK 3 cortina, 1973 manual 2. 0 GXL.
This has been a wonderful restoration project spanning the past 6 years. It only has 70, 000 miles on the clock and still retains it's original 2. 0 pinto engine. It has had lots of work from the ground up, although it still retains it's original vinyl roof which is in superb condition. This is not a 100% original spec restoration but would not take much to switch a few things back to original such as the seats and a few pieces of trim.
She has had brand new rear quarters, front inner wings, slam panel, boot floor pan, inner and outer sills, along with some extensive welding throught. A brand new sunroof and headlining, all four headlights are new halogen lights, the ford sport wheels (spare included) have been sandblasted and hand painted back to original spec. The rear seat is the original but unfortunatley the two front seats were too far gone to be salvaged so they have been replaced with some RS recaros and all of the interior has been professionally upholstered with a gorgeous suede/ vinyl material. New chrome windscreen wipers, a new carpet has also been fitted throughout, along with new seat belts and is fitted with a full length center console and sport gauges rounding off that classic, sought after sloping dash look.
All door and boot rubbers are brand new with new chrome inserts. This has all been finished off with a back to metal, original colour white re-spray. Old fashioned metal number plates are there too. Recent head gasket change and full service.
There are a few minor things that are outstanding, such as a few screws missing in the rear door panels (rear handles included but not fitted), a boot liner and the center console is missing a few screws. The (F O R D) letters are also missing from the bonnet. The car is great fun to drive and comes with an MOT and as an historic vehicle is exempt from Tax.
A CD player is fitted with two front speakers in the doors.
Around £15k has been spent on this historic ford beauty and I am reluctantly putting her up for sale due to personal reasons. While I realise that I will not get back what I have spent on her I do believe that she is worth every penny of the asking price
