I can remember back in the eighties the furore when Ford decided to can the Cortina as well as replace it with the ‘jelly mould’ Sierra. It was out with the old family-favourite, three-box saloon as well as in with the new, aerodynamic five-door hatch.
Now it’s the turn of the Mondeo to make way, although Ford states it has no plans to directly replace it. So it’s not only farewell to a big-selling as well as much-loved nameplate, however it’s likewise farewell to a whole breed of cars and truck – one that can trace its roots back to the great old Cortina.
