    http://www.retro-rides.com/ is a good source of info/cars.

    I'd stick with the Cortina. I came close to buying an old Ur-Quattro a year or two ago, but good ones go for around £8k, and unless you're happy to DIY, they cost a lot to service/repair. My last car was nearly 20 years old, so I'm not afraid of a bit of work, but for a daily driver it was going to be too much stress.
