Ford Cortina Mk3 2000GT – Thames Valley Police REF: VA10305
Scale: 1:43
Dimensions:
£12.99
Thames Valley Police used Mk3 Cortinas as emergency response vehicles, mainly in urban areas, and the car modelled is one of that fleet. It was ideally suited to this work being both spacious and, by the standards of the time, rapid. In this era, very little thought was given to resale values when specifying cars, so all Police Cortinas had the low-back L type seats and steel wheels with hubcaps rather than the high-back head restraint seats and styled sports wheels that were fitted to the civilian 2 litre GXL. They were, however, fitted with extra fog lights below the bumper and the then new ‘Pinto’ OHC engine. Estimated release date: May 2008
