The Captain use to have a collection of Mark 3 Cortina's and quite often parts would would be taken off one and put on the other to keep it on the road. Went on quite a few adventures in the Cortina's and always managed to get there and back, on one trip to Germany in 1988 he had 2 spare wheels as the car had different sized wheels on the front/back, when the car got searched at Calais the customs chap thought we was smuggling drugs until we showed him the wheels on he car!
