VANGUARDS - Ford Cortina MK1b, Goodwood Green.


The MK1B Cortina was a really huge hit for Ford, the MK1 was produced from 1962 until 1966 and sold in excess of 930,000 units, which was massive for Ford, and made the Cortina thee best seller for virtually its entire run which ended in 1982, but for me the MK1A was the best, the MK1B a very close second, this Goodwood Green version looks the part with the more deeper wheels that would have been on the Lotus Cortina, the badging and bright work are spot on too.

VA07300 is a great model and a limited one at that, #5558/7300, another high number and a quick check on ebay sees that there is a few on there from £5.50 to £20.00, glad I have mine though, as it is mint, the jewelled headlights and working suspension set this off just right.
