Is that a MkIV Ford Cortina to the right? Late 80’s maybe

 

[aston lad]

I would say....late 70's early 80,s.....the car looks like a MK2 Ford Escort

1988 ford escort xr3i

Hmmm, it's got a "go-faster" bar across the top of the boot, but insufficient details in the scan to get anything else out of the photo.

thanks all...so we have a time scale between the early and late 80s and possibly a ford cortina or escort...shame we cant see the number plate but that time scale fits in with when my uncles had a couple of butchers shops along ladypool road and also at anderton road

Looks like an L reg at beginning (possibly a Nissan/Datson Bluebird estate), which would be 1994

I'm sorry I thought the caption on the photo would upload with it. On Phils original photo the caption reads "Ladypool Rd Studley St corner 2000" hope this helps, John.
