    Danny is so close that I can't let it go on any longer!

    Final clues:

    Not the large engine, 118E, for which the Laycock Clutch was made!

    Not a 105E, as Oliver suggested!

    The VIN plate had 'CE' on it, so it was a CKD kit assembled outside the UK!

    All 125Es were built as Cheshunt.

    OK. Fraud Concertina Mk1 assembled in Cork with a 113E 1200cc engine.

    Where did you find the reference to 116E in a Lotus Cortina? I thought that they were only used in Elans? I was pretty sure that the Mk1b Cortina Lotus motor was a 125E?[:s]

    Can't understand why he took the pi55.

    The guy quite clearly said Cobh!

    OK, he pronounced it 'Cove', which of course is correct!

    So, IMHO, Lee Mack is the stupid cockerney c**t!

    Cobh is famous for what?

    Au contraire, retour vous!

    The only nice Fraud was the quite beautiful Mk2 2 Door Cortina!

    With only an homologation special Lotus 125E motor, all other parts being from the Ford Plus Performance Catalogue, and the **** Accesories Catalogue, did it win the 1966 RAC Rally!:thumbup:

    Quiz:

    Which bit of the car was from ****?
