Re: Heatwave 76 Gina I got a Cortina...................

Not wishing to be an instructor of egg-sucking but that interior is gorgeous - you might want to store it elsewhere whilst prodding and poking with blunt instruments. Don't ask me how I know this, suffice to say I have a splendid irreparable gouge in my Cowley headlining (which couldn't be removed ...
