    I reckon it's (at least in the UK market) a Ford 'Granada' rather than a 'Cortina'.

    Well I`m going out to the shed to have a look.........back in a tick.....

    The sticker on the box has been removed. The car has FORD on the rear of it. It does rather look like a Cortina, however I`m prepared to be corrected on that. I think I have a catalogue somewhere.....maybe it`s in there......I`ll get back to you

    I think you guys are right, the car being a Ford Granada. It has the elongated tail lights as opposed to the shorter, boxier tail lights of a Cortina.

    Cheers, Gary.

    The Consul Classic, the Consul Capri, and the Consul Corsair (made from 1963 until 1970) were relatively short-lived, but the Ford Cortina, after losing (along with the Corsair) the "Consul" tag in 1964, went on to become a best-seller. The Consul name was again used by Ford from 1972 to 1975 on a replacement for the Zephyr range, now sharing a body with the more luxurious Ford Granada Mark I. The two-door coupé Capri's name was also reintroduced in 1969.

    From Google.......so now we know:giggle:

    Have a great break Gormo. As they used to say "Queensland, beautiful one day, perfect the next..." They may have to change that slogan to "Queensland, beautiful one day, Gormonised the next...!" :avatar::avatar:

    Cheers, Gary.
