This Ford Cortina 2.3-litre V6 Ghia Auto 1:43 scale Vanguards model represents a car purchased new by Langcrest Construction, London, SW6, in May 1982. It remained registered as a company car until May 1990 when ownership was transferred to the private individual who had looked after it, Thadious Winston Bubb. He kept it until early 2006, a clear sign of his fondness for the car. The ninth and current keeper, Berkshire-based Stewart Liming, acquired the car from an owner on the Orkney Islands, Scotland, in March 2024. He bought it unseen because it was so far away, instead closely studying service history documents, videos and photographs provided by the seller. Stewart employed a transport company to bring the car south and was relieved when the driver greeted him by saying he'd not seen a Cortina as good for many years. All the owners have kept a detailed service history, showing that the recorded 36,000 miles is genuine, and its overall condition shows how well it has always been looked after. The car had been dry-stored prior to his purchase so Stewart has thoroughly recommissioned it and fitted original Ford specification S Pack Suspension to improve its handling, without ruining its period charm. He is a Cortina Mk4 and Mk5 enthusiast, having owned eight as a young man in the late 80s and early 90s, so is enjoying reliving his youth in this rare survivor.
