I had two of them, a gorgeous 2.3 Ghia s model in champagne gold and one of the very last 2.0 crusader models in cardinal red. If you had ever tried to change the void bushes on one though, you wouldn't say "trouble free". |

with that tool the void bushes took 30 minutes max, bolts out, arm out the way, wind the old bush out and the new one in, the Mk3/5/5 all had the same bushes, i used to buy MOT failures and had 1 of each to do the same day... |

Come to think about it, I changed clutch cables, water pumps and a few other things on the old Cortina's.
