Probably mainly 4 bangers, imports wouldnt have had the 250 crossflow as the local high end ones had. The only cortina i have driven was a 78 with the 250 crossflow. No power steering, no worries. It went pretty good untill i realised it had no power assisted brakes. The accelerator was easy to push, the brake pedal definately needed a bit more weight and effort to bring that thing to a stop.

Thank you for such an informative and interesting reply.
As previous i know nothing about old Ford's (outside the GTHO which I loved when younger) but these Cortinas no idea!
You clearly know all about it and I'll try and get a pic. I simply don't know how on here but I'll upload when I can.
I've been told claims Gov benefits, but restores cars for good cash on top - he has done heaps of cars (all Fords....but don't quote me)
