The Cortina Sandwich

There was a wheeler dealer who lived near to me in Skelmersdale, I saw him messing about with a Mk-1 Cortina and asked him what he wanted for it, I can remember how shifty he was and he sort of looked around his front door instead of inviting me in. 50 quid with two months tax and test. As I was desperate for a car (This was during the period of stolen Mk-2 Cortina) it was a snip and the beauty was mine......

Now, I'd always wanted a sports car....How can I describe this amazing beast, the thing was completely outfitted in grey primer, the drivers side door was the only one with a door handle (all others had been removed, bodged and sanded over for that sleek look). There was a spoiler on the front and a lovely bonnet scoop, this car had been previously owned by a genuine boy racer, at 50 quid I wasn't complaining, besides, the thing complimented by college dropout lifestyle and was representative of the guy I was at that time.
