1982 Ford Cortina crusader review from UK and Ireland
"Very good fun in the wet"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Carburettor packed up 67000.
Seats got worn down.
Heater rad kept breaking.
General comments?
This car was not as fast as wanted, but with a race cam and electronic ignition and twin 45 carburettors and a for branch exhaust manifold it was fast.
The cabin was very luxury indeed with wood dash and top door cards.
