Short and tweet comments: the Ford Cortina

Ever since Ford launched the Cortina in 1962, it’s held a special place in British popular culture.

With its many hugely admired models, distinctive trims and racing successes, it’s no wonder the Cortina was a top seller right up until the end of its production 30 years later.

But we don’t need to list reasons for loving the Ford Cortina - you probably have your own. Why not share your memories of the car on the message board below.
