And the mkII escort in '75.
D'Oh!
My only excuse is that it was early and I didn't have my reading glasses on!
The HC/Firenza is more Cortina sized than Escort. Loved mine but couldn't afford a new engine so it had to go to the big garage in the sky! The chap who deals with my bike MOTs has a Firenza with a Rover 3 1/2 lump in it. Sounds fabulous but needed a bit more exhaust than it had when I heard it - 3' of plain stainless pipe on each side wasn't exactly a silencer!!!
ETA another D'Oh! The Capri (smaller engines, not the 3l!) is probably the closest Ford to the Firenza with the Cortina being closer to the Viva HC.
