Marketing Manager - Bridge Classic Cars
We are looking for a very special car – a 1973 Ford Cortina GXL in Onyx Green, registration CCF 868L.
This isn’t just any Cortina though, this was the first car that Bridge Classic Cars Director, Gordon’s father purchased brand new, from Newmarket, Suffolk back in the early 1970s.
Our research shows that it hasn’t been taxed since 1983, when the car would have been just 10 years old and there are no records of its MOT history. This leads us to believe that one of two things could have happened – the first is that the car was written off or scrapped in the early 1980s or, option 2 is that it is sat in a garage, barn, outbuilding, or driveway and has been there since 1983!
Wherever it may be and in whatever state it is currently in, Gordon is extremely keen to be reunited with the car he learnt to drive in and he would love to bring it back to life and get it back out on the road.
If you know anything about the fate of the 1973 Ford Cortina GXL in Onyx Green, please get in touch and let’s bring this special car back home.
