One of my earliest motoring memories was my auld feller MKII 1600E, the ST of its day. My own Cortina was a bit sheet really - my first car was 1750 Allegro which was much better to drive, but a reliability nightmare. After a year the Fortuna started to get a bit lacy so I splurged on a Rover SD 1 2600. Velour trim and electric front windows - i was like a dog with 2 danglies.
