How do find it compared to the Mk 2 Cortina. (my dad has an original 67' 4 door Cortina) What colour is the interior of your 1600?

They are worlds apart, but I still like riding around in his. I'll show him this link - he'll be well chuffed because he recently told me that there are only something like five of his car left on the road. Title: Re: hello. 1600 coupe Post by: credders on May 25, 2012, 02:33:53 PM its saluki bronze. 1500s are rare ive got a basket case 1500GT crayford convertible.
Title: Re: hello. 1600 coupe Post by: credders on May 25, 2012, 02:37:26 PM im after some rear seatbelts for my beta so i can take the kids out, will my car have all the captive nuts and fittings in? ive only seen static belts advertised, is that what was fitted or can you get inertia belts?
Title: Re: hello. 1600 coupe Post by: MattNoVAT on May 25, 2012, 04:30:52 PM I'm selling some on eBay at the moment, they never did inertia belts for the rear.
I do better rates for Forum members! PM me if your interested. Title: Re: hello. 1600 coupe Post by: MattNoVAT on May 27, 2012, 04:22:52 PM My Dads 1500 Super Deluxe
We were told theres only 5 left on the road.. Is that true do you know, so about as rare as some Beta Berlinas ! Sorry to go off-topic: ;) Title: Re: hello. 1600 coupe Post by: credders on May 29, 2012, 08:57:14 PM cortina looks very tidy, not sure how many left. i know theres not many 1500s. seatbelts not a priority at the mo, ive got rear belts in my cortina so if i need to take the family out i can use that, thanks anyway
