I was going to XY Phase 3, but that's a bit cliche.

My favourite Ford from experience was my old TE Cortina. It was only a 4 cylinder, but by god it was a good car. If I ever get another one it'll be a 6.

I've got a soft spot for Cortys believe it, or not.

2006 Ford GT from the states in blue clearcoat with white stripes. Or a Shelby GT500 67 fast back similar to the "gone in 60sec" version.

Could be any ford but doesnt mean it cant be a complete trashcan that kept falling apart, just your favorite ford you have ever owned/ wanted to own.

Hmmm...do they have to be ALL Ford?

Here we go

GT40
AC Cobra
AC Frua Convertible
61 Galaxy Starliner
Current Ride(s)

Anyone see an engine trend emerging?

And just to buck that trend

2006GT
XA RPO83 Hardtop
56 Lincoln Continental Mark II

Ford Escort RS Cosworth. They dominated the WRC at the time. My first car was an old Mk2 Escort coupe, so I guess I had a soft spot for them.

My Yellow Festiva.

It was my first new car bought with my own hard earned cash. I looked after her and she looked after me by giving me 10 years of trouble free motoring.

It was a 10/10 for reliability and was extremely 'cheap and cheerful' to run. I learnt to do most of the maintenance in her myself and if it wasn't for an unfortunate accident a few years ago would still be in the garage today.

Mine would be my very first car, 1980 TE Cortina 2.0 litre 4sp manual in original Shamrock Green. LOL. This thing was so fun to drive when I was on my P plates.

There are plenty - and I'd be lying if I didn't rate my FG XR6T as being one of them, but if I could only pick one.....the black XA GT RPO83 coupe.
