Mondeo turns 25 - but 1990s classic is dying out 22 Nov 2017 (News)
‘The classic car sector is worth £5.5bn to the UK economy with more than one-million classics on the road and employing 35,000 people. It’s easy to forget that established classics like the Morris Minor and the Ford Cortina were seen as affordable transport once – rather than the big money prices paid today’ When the Mondeo went on sale in 1993, the UK’s best-selling car was the Ford Escort , which achieved 122,002 sales. -

A Grand Monday: Morris Marina 1.3 11 Mar 2019 (News)
Few cars have had more stick (or pianos) thrown at them than the poor old Morris Marina. Launched in 1970, the Marina was British Leyland’s answer to the Ford Cortina, and unlike BL’s other family saloons, it was as traditional as they come. Rear-wheel-drive, with a choice of either the aged A-series or nearly as antiquated B-series engines, the Marina was a straightforward car - so straight forward, in fact, that it shared many of its underpinnings with the Morris Minor, a car that could trace its roots back to 1948. -
