What happened to the Lotus Cortina, Alcy? Too slow for you??
I’d left uni first time around after missing a term with a bad bout of glandular fever, so went to work at a local chemical plant.
There, and once earning, I swapped my rust box 998cc Anglia for the Cortina.
Eighteen months later, the toss of a coin led me back to uni, where my insurers were no longer happy about insuring a student with a LC🙁
So it got swapped again for a MkI Escort, which became the subject of a few modifications.
