Vehicle Details
AI Listing Summary
This 1973 Ford Cortina 2000 GT Crayford is a rare, mechanically restored convertible, one of only ten remaining. While mechanically sound with a rebuilt engine and treated chassis, it has some cosmetic issues like a worn hood and minor rust spots.
Condition
6
The car is described as mechanically restored and 'on the button,' which suggests it's in good running order. The underside has been treated and repainted, and the engine has been rebuilt. However, the convertible hood is in poor cosmetic condition, and there are two minor rust bubbles on the body. These cosmetic issues, along with the need for reconditioning of the hood, indicate a 'Good' condition rating.

Background: During the golden era of British motoring, Crayford Engineering carved out a niche as the go-to coachbuilder for factory-backed convertible conversions.
One of their more distinctive projects was the transformation of the Ford Cortina MK3 into a fully open-top tourer – a stylish and unique twist on one of the nation’s best-loved saloon cars.
With Ford never offering a factory convertible in this generation, Crayford’s conversions remain highly desirable today, both for their rarity and their bespoke craftsmanship.
Only a small number of these MK3 Cortina GTs were ever converted by Crayford, and it’s believed that just 10 examples remain in existence today – making this a true collector’s piece.
The Car: This beautiful MK3 Cortina GT Crayford Convertible has emerged from enthusiast long-term ownership, and presents as a rot-free, mechanically sound example that has undergone extensive and considered restoration work, totalling approximately £15,000.
