Mk5 Cortina 2.0 Ghia S restomod

Originally registered on 13th August 1982, this is not just any Mk. V Cortina. This is probably the best and most famous Mk. V Cortina there is. It was heavily featured in RetroFord and appeared on the front cover. The car was restored in the mid 2000's and at the same time received a number of significant modifications. The engine is now a 2. 0 litre 16V Silvertop Zetec with motorcycle throttle bodies and Emerald engine management and now produces 151bhp. This is mated to a MT75 five-speed gearbox offering a more comfortable drive when cruising. To be expected the brakes have been uprated, using ventilated discs on the front. The hubs have been changed, using the five stud ones from a Mk. II Granada, thus enabling the fitment of ABS. The wheels and tyres are TRX 15" also from a Mk. II Granada. The interior has been changed slightly, the seats are from a Cortina GLS, these have been retrimmed using the correct Chatsworth fabric and are in the Recaro style. The steering wheel is from an RS and is a four-spoke which sits on a factory Ford boss. The nett result having had this huge amount of work carried out is an instantly recognisable Ford Cortina Mk. V which is like no other. Viewing in person is highly recommended to fully appreciate the work carried out and the quality of this outstanding Cortina.
