I'm sure I've seen this car in the flesh, so to speak at quite a few shows up here in the North of England, & the NEC? (there can't be two like this) and I can understand why this car has so many trophies.
You must have spent lots,and lots,and lots of time loving that car to get it to such a stunningly high standard. Well done, you deserve all the trophies and praise you get with your car.
Utterly fantastic.

Well that brings back a few memories - my dad had one of those when I was a kid, exactly the same I reckon, is it Goodwood Green? And... does it say Consul on the bonnet as opposed to Cortina?  |

Only my 63 model had that.My 64 had Cortina on the badge,so I presume all later models(like this one)would be the same. |

Thanks for all your kind words
It is Alpina green and later cars all had Cortina on the bonnet

In which case I will come up, say hello and introduce myself, perhaps if I ask nicely you'll allow me to sit in it? Rich... |
