Beschreibung
The car remains mostly in original condition but has been upgraded with a refurbished Cortina GT 1500 engine fitted with a performance camshaft, a NOS Abarth sport exhaust from the 1960s, and a Cortina GT sports steering wheel. The original engine and steering wheel are included separately.
The body was welded where necessary and repainted in its original color, Ermine White. The braking system was completely overhauled, and all wear parts in the front suspension were replaced. New shock absorbers were fitted all around.
Other work includes a new windshield, new rubber seals and weatherstrips, and a new front bumper (NOS). A number of spare parts are included, such as oil filters, ignition components, brake parts, and belts.
Extensive documentation comes with the car, including full ownership history since it was first sold by Ford dealer Yngwe Svensson in Västerås. Also included are the delivery certificate from Ford Dagenham, the original service book, Ford’s rust protection warranty, the owner’s manual, parts catalog, and more.
The car is delivered with two sets of keys.
Teknische Daten
Beurteilung Fahrzeugzustand
-
Zustand technisch
The engine and drivetrain run well. The carburetor may need rejetting, as the engine runs slightly unevenly, especially at idle. The fuel gauge is of uncertain functionality. Both brakes and clutch operate as they should. The windshield washer is not functional, as the car is missing the pump and fluid reservoir.
-
Zustand Interieur
The interior is in good condition. There are signs of use, but nothing that detracts from the overall impression. The front seats and rear bench retain their original upholstery, which is unusually intact (though the tops of the front seatbacks show some wear – see photos). There are a few small holes in the headliner (see photos), and a patch repair on the driver’s footwell mat (also shown in photos).
-
Zustand Exterieur
The car was repainted three years ago. The paint is in decent condition, though some weld repairs are visible and the prep work isn’t perfect – see photos. The chrome trim is generally in good condition, except for the rear bumper where the chrome shows some wear.
-
Zustand gesamt
A restored and road-ready car that, with a few small fixes and the installation of a windshield washer system, could be even better. Few Cortinas remain in this condition today.

Fakten zum Modell
For those seeking a tuned road car with easy adaptability for competition, the Lotus Cortina was the obvious choice. It differed significantly from the standard Cortina with its performance engine, lightweight aluminium panels, and specially developed chassis.
