Default A Funeral for a Ford

A lovely finish to The Grand Tour (in its current format). Most of the episode is devoted to a a very nice tribute to Ford UK's Family Saloons, the Cortina, Sierra, and Mondeo. Perhaps not surprisingly it mirrors our own experience with the Falcon.

Obviously you need to subscribe to Amazon to watch it

- very well done. Are all UK Ford passenger cars getting the chop?
For the first firm to do an electric car with the Mk2 Cortina (or XW for that matter) styling and modern minimalist interior, the riches of the world...

Just watched this again.

Very nicely done, but very sad. Makes me wish I'd been born 20 years earlier.

Watched it last night as well. Miss my Cortina 250 XLE that I used to clean up a clown in a VC Commodore who didn't think a red light applied to him.

That was a cracker of a car.
