My aunt's neighbor when I was a kid had 3 mid 60's RHD Cortinas. The box on a box design is classic.

Hey, YOU go back in time and tell Mazda to galvanize their '70s bodyshells so that they don't rust while you watch. While you're at it, go back to the '60s with a running RX-7 12A and show them how to make a rotary last a long time with no problems, so they don't get a bad rep because of the twin dizzy engines' problems with apex and coolant seals.

That way, more people would have bought them back when and they would have lasted longer, meaning more RX-2/3/4s alive in 2002

Those old Cortinas have a longtime racing heritage, as does Ford. I believe the suspension was designed by Lotus.
Such a car certainly don't deserve such disdain.
