We went to look at a Mk1 Cortina in the mid 90's when the seller said he had another one for sale.
It was an old racecar and had odd sheetmetal brake ducts on the front, a big fuel tank behind the rear seats and some '500' badges that looked like they'd been pulled off a Fairlane. He kept mentioning it'd been built by a guy named Harry Firth and had been in the Armstrong 500.
We had no idea what he was on about and bought the other one instead.
...and that my friends was the day I passed up a GT500 Cortina with Bathurst pedigree for $2000
