Only a few years ago, the mkV was to be seen everywhere in England - but now their numbers seem to be rapidly dwindling. Even the scrap yards have few of the cars in stock. But the F.C.O.C. gives the car the respect it deserves.

Raindance is a drag racing Cortina featuring a 500cu in (8.2 litre) Cadillac V8.

The Australian mkV

While externally sharing the looks of the UK model, the Australian version is a localised. Other engine options were available and the interior is different, even down to the dash. It is a shame Ford UK never chose to fit a 4.1 as pictured here.

     
See also the mkIII page for some insight into the Australian versions. Thanks to Matthew Woolard for these pictures.
