I'm also not a fan of the badges but that Mk1 escort is ace.
I've always had a soft spot for Cortina mk2
Escort went along time a go.
Its a fast if not faster than an rs4 so why not the badges
As I said before..
Each to there own.
I know you get alot of true enthusiasts on here.
But I like them.
My dad had the cortina mk1 e
Its more of an aesthetic look.
I keep all the original parts.
Grill, exhaust badges etc..
Just need another 25k for the b8 rs4..
Anyhow I wouldn't swap the 3l v6 for any engine.
And it does 30mpg.
Best of both worlds!

Not sure there was a Mark One Cortina E; or maybe your dad just liked the badges.
Bit rude mate..Not sure there was a Mark One Cortina E; or maybe your dad just liked the badges.
He just passed
But it was a 1600e I'm prerry sure.
And it was around 1976....

But it is fun though!
I'm sorry to learn you've just lost your dad. Certainly I wasn't trying to be rude; just aiming to have some light-hearted fun, not knowing the circumstances.
No worries.
We also had a mk3 cortina
That was just a big old banger but I loved it!
Dark blue with big pvc seats....
Back in 1976 we had a neighbour that had a MK2 1600E, took it to Blackpool for a day trip, it disappeared as lots of them did back then! I went to look at a MK1 Escort 1300E once to replace my Escort van (young newly married couple's collection/delivery transport), unfortunately at that time the prices were rising and a MK Escort Ghia 1600 offered a lot more for similar money, so I grabbed one of them.
Haha..
I liked my dads mk2 cortina and in a way I liked the mk3 although it was a lump!
But in the late 80s i bought an old 1974 Lombard rac mk1 escort..
Loved it
Sold it for £500!!..
I would love it back now

Poor MK1 Escorts, still plenty out there getting thrashed through forest tracks and places like Rally Design selling parts for them!
Its a pipe dream now mate..
Happy days while I had it though...
Maybe when all the kids have fled the nest I'll go looking for it!
