100 years of English Fords..

So..what's your favorite? Cortina, Escort, Sierra or Mondeo? Or perhaps one I've forgotten?

I'm an 80s-90s guy. I'll take the Sierra with the Cosworth, or the Mondeo with the V6. At least here in the US, I could find a Sierra (even with that weak "Merkur" name) or a Mondeo (with the equally weak "Contour" badge).

there were so many good english fords.. from the Capri, to the Cortina, Escort, Fiesta, Mondeo, Puma, and the Sierra.. plus so many I missed.

Ug. I gotta get my Capri running.

Any english ford thats rwd or awd, I like. Anyone want to buy '77 Capri?

Funny how much that looks like a 318ti in some of the (non-racing) details

That is the truth. Though this one also makes my pants happy:

Wick Kid!

Yeah. Isn't that guy "The Turk" from the old Camel cigarette ads?
