Classic Ford prices have climbed considerably over the years, which makes the result for this 1979 Ford Cortina Ghia at Anglia Car Auctions particularly interesting. It’s a Mk4 Ghia with the 2.3-litre V6, manual gearbox and just 44,293 miles showing. It was offered with no reserve and, when the relatively short spell of bidding was […]
