The Cortina Ambassador |
This World Of Cortina web
site is the brain child of "The Cortina Ambassador"
Simon Jones from Manchester, UK, who not only collects all
manner of Cortina memorabilia and retro items but also owns
11 Ford Cortina motor cars.
Simon has completed a UK charity drive from Lands End to
John O'Groats in a Mark3 Cortina and travelled extensively
through Europe and Italy in search of material for this web
site.
His current search strategy also includes the use of all
Internet resources to satisfy his drive for more information
and collectible memorabilia. |

ambition in life is now coming to fruition by the set-up of
this web site and database to catalogue and preserve the history
of Cortina in detail.

When his parents then owned a fruit and vegetable/hardware
shop (pictured here) in Wokingham, Berkshire, UK

trip around Ireland in September 2002, which was organised
by the The Cortina Owners Club of Ireland Ltd.
