A GT CortinaThe Lotus-Cortina was a high-performance car, the result of collaboration between Ford and Lotus.
Released in 1963, originally called the 'Consul Cortina Sports Special by Lotus', the Lotus-Cortina was a variant of the lightweight 2-door Mk I Ford Cortina, and available only in one colour: white with a green flash.
The great Jim Clark used a Lotus Cortina to win the 1964 British Touring Car Championship.
The Lotus-Cortina featured a 1558 cc dual overhead cam engine from Lotus, based on Ford's Kent. The car also included modified suspension, a close-ratio gearbox, and aluminium alloy panels.
A Lotus-Cortina based on the Mk II Cortina was released in 1967. It was normally called the Cortina Lotus, reflecting the reduced input from Lotus.
what a great car.
IIRC the Jim Clark one was bought by a contributor to CAR magazine about 6 years ago?
I love this car. I want to own one of these and a BMW 2002.
