IIRC wasn't the Cortina where they got they weight down by doing away with
metal and just sprayed rust on the inside of the paintwork?
You're thinking of the Vauxhall Victor.
I'm trying desperately not to :-)
My grandfather had two Victors, an F in fawn and red (rather like one of
those toffees with the raspberry centres) and an FA in two-tone blue. I
was too young to worry about rust but I was very impressed with the
lever that raised the FA's air intake - you could make believe it was a
gun turret and shoot other cars with it.
Well, I did, anyway...
