Mid Sixties MK1 1600 Cortina estate, bought as a non runner for 40 quid in 1978. Cam timing was 180 degrees out (guy had had a go at rebuilding engine) and both halves of the carb needed lapping flat so they would seal together. Wrote it off when the steering broke and it turned right into front garden wall when I used the brakes, happy days.
Spent 45 quid on a late sixties 1700 V4 Ford Corsair, which I sold for 150 about two years later.
