Classic Ford Models

I have a few to add to the thread! 

My favorite though is a recent addition, my partner got me this for my 40th! She apparently ran around all over the place trying to find a model like mine and even conspired with the RS club here in Vic to source one. She's not bad when she wants to be .



 
 

good idea Drew!.
How do you know when you have reread back issues of CF magazine too many times?
When you recognise the 'models' in Drews post.
They were also pictured at a car show draped over the bonnet of a black hearse, all goth/dead like.
 
But I digress.
I dont have a favourite model as such, but will have to take a few pics.
 
Have to keep an eye out for that Cortina, someone clears out our local Woolies of anything good, just leaving  the Teslas, and American SUV.s behond.
 
I'm lucky same as you Mark  to also have been given models of cars I've owned, inc an MX5, RX8, and bonus if they are in the exact colour.
 
A 1/18th Escort is on my wishlist, although the 1/10 RC model is filling that void for now.
I hope your signed example is on display in the good room Marty, along side the expensive china and Royal Daultons.
 
What else are you looking for? I'd like the rally transporter pack that came out a few years ago.
 

This is probably my favourite.  Plastic model Capri I made when I was 19 and avoiding doing engineering homework.
Not strictly in Pan Am accurate livery, and frankenstiened from other models with Mercedes rims, but it has followed me around since then. Lives on the stereo unit in the shed.
 

 
The other one I like is another nicely detailed Capri.
I like  colour and side pipes and BBS, prob too good to live in the shed, but it does also.
 


 
Thanks Drew about the Cortina, found 1 yesterday!

Drew did you see there's a new RS2000 coming:

 
 
and finally a CApri for a change, complete with car transporter:
 
and your mk1 Lotus Cortina in a few new colours.
I think the above is mainly for the US markets, so we might have to go on the hunt next year to see what comes our way.

Fun fact, when I was an apprentice at Strapp Ford in Kew - which closed around 2005 and is now an office block - a old gentleman was restoring one of those lotus mk1 Cortinas and it had the exact same paintwork, not sure of the number he ran on it though. The dealer principal knew him really well and allowed him to store the car there and just come and go as he pleased. 
 
I can't remember the gentleman's name and he's probably passed on now - he was in his 70s back then - but he was really nice to a young small ford enthusiast and even helped me tune the carb a few times on my RS2000.
