dsl ◊ 2013-06-06 23:40	This was an unexpected curiosity thrown into the storyline for no real reason. A semi-derelict Cortina in a garage - my guess is XL for wood inside with optional vinyl roof; not a GT as they did not have wood and not GXL as no chrome side strip; 72-73ish for colour. But open the bonnet, and as the dialogue states, there's a very clean Lotus engine, with Vegantune badging - nothing to do with food faddists, but engine specialists who worked closely with Lotus on developing and manufacturing Twin cams for the Elan Sprint and supplying Caterham.
