That means that surviving GLS or Ghia S models are rare because fewer were sold and, unlike the Mk4 Cortina, there was no separate S model. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe S Pack could only be ordered on cars with engines of 2-litres or above and featured driving lamps, overriders, a tachometer, a sports gear knob, and wider 185\/70 HR x 13 tyres, plus revised stiffer suspension with gas filled front dampers. Alloy road wheels were a standalone option.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe GLS modelled was owned for many years by a police officer in Wales but ended up offered for sale while being stored in the open in Peterborough. It intrigued Hertfordshire-based garage owner Dave Lamb, whose first car had been a Cortina, because it was complete and unmolested, albeit rusty. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThere were also signs it had been cared for, such as five premium brand tyres, an unblemished interior and what looked like a genuine 90,000 recorded miles. Dave viewed it three times before his nostalgic impulse kicked in and he bought it in December 2023. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHe got it running, and his suspicions were proved correct because the engine was sweet, and it drove well. He has now started restoring it to its original specification.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePRE ORDER NOW FOR JUST £34.19 + P\u0026amp;P (£4 Evri, £4.95 RM48, £6.45 RM24)\u003cbr\u003eA Worldpay 'Pay By Link' will be sent once the item is released\u003cbr\u003eNo deposit necessary\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eTo place a pre order, place the item in the cart and checkout as normal choosing your preferred delivery option, the order value will be £0, and your card will not be charged when you checkout.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cem\u003eWhen the item arrives in stock, we then send you a payment link at the pre order price, which will need to be paid within 7 days.
