Vehicle Details

AI Listing Summary

This 1983 Ford Cortina Crusader Edition, with a 2.0-litre Pinto engine, presents a blend of classic appeal and practical considerations. Having had just two owners, with the current owner possessing it for 39 years, the car includes desirable features like 'Sports' wheels and Ghia seating, alongside a complete set of documentation, however the mileage has likely been under-reported.

Description

1993cc, manual.

Production of the Ford Cortina ended with the run-out Mk5 Crusader Edition, a popular package including ‘Sports’ wheels, Ghia seating and wooden door cappings.

This red example is equipped with the top-spec 2.0-litre Pinto engine, and has had just 2 owners from new.

The current owner has had the car for 39 years, having bought it when it was three years old in 1986.

The Cortina has been Mo

T tested every year, and the V5C suggests that it has lived in Cambridgeshire all its life.

The indicated mileage is 18,171 but the Mo

T record suggests that this represents 118k miles.

The latest Mo

T certificate is valid to 5th September 2025.

The car is accompanied by old Mo

Ts, current V5C and old-style V5, handbook pack and a Haynes manual.

First registered 15th March 1983.
