Yep, looks like a Cortina Eighties to me. There are a few still about not snatched by banger racers!
That 16V is lovely but if some snitching, snooping little Hitler reads the listing it'll get removed as he mentioned people can make offers and he's slated Paypal.

An ex-BX 16v forum member's car too! It's probably pretty good, but it will have be cained into oblivion in his ownership.

Fine...if it's maintained to suit. Cheap though, and I now believe white is the best colour for a ph2 Valver.

White is back in fashion at the minute... but must say that Triton green or Black are my favourite colours on P2s.

Although to be honest I'm strangely drawn to white BXs too, because the BX of my childhood was white.

That P2 looks good, and lets be honest, most 16vs have been thrashed... because, well, who can resist?

Mine's white!! $\:D/$

Looks the business and I've never been a fan of white cars in the past
until lately until I got the 16v'er and a CX Gti Turbo2...

REALLY need to be kept clean though!!

I can!
Ok, it gets revved and used.
But D6C's like to be revved.
Happily the engine in my car is the best EVAH D6C so I'm cool. Yay me!
Although JonKW's idles better than mine...

Have you had your injectors ultrasonically cleaned internally by the Lucas or Bosch people c/w replacement filters & caps? That made a major difference to my GTi both in performance plus a smooth tickover without any 'hunting'.

Well, it would be nice if it stayed up all night. Even better if I had somewhere to park it!

W2G, the injectors were rebuilt by me a couple of years ago.

It's the valver way, they just cannot idle THAT well, the Motronic doesn't help, but the stupidly aggresive cams finish the idle off.

mine idled lovely with it's last ICV, until it randomly decided the car should idle at 1700RPM, so the old ICV went back on. Idles at the right speed, just a tad lumpy.
Still better than nearly every other valver I've ever heard, but not quite as good as Jon's.
I'll rebuild an ICV at some stage (ie when I can be arsed) at return to the status quo..
