"Here is a classic Barn-find which, after almost 50 years at rest, has undergone a mechanical overhaul and inspection/MOT approved."

Description

The Ford Cortina Mk2 1600E was the car between the GT and the Lotus version. A family car and a sports car in the same shape, before the GTI era. Ford had great success on racing and the rally with Cortina GT versions made the owners feel a little part of that success. When the Mk2 came, they also wanted to add a fast family version with both a GT feel and a little extra flair, like the English premium cars of the time. So the E-model was equipped with a 1600 cubic Crossflow engine, and wheel suspension from the even hotter Lotus Cortina. The E-model also offered black vinyl upholstery according to the fashion of the time and solid walnut panels, on doors and dashboard, which had full GT instrumentation and a leather steering wheel and alloy wheels.

Facts about the model

Ford Cortina tillverkades 1962 - 1983 och var en uppskattad vagn i mellanklass. Redan med Mk1 tog man fram vässade versioner med mer speed och GT utrustning i tidens anda. Det blev tom en än vassare version i samarbete med Lotus åren 1963-1966 och 1967-1970, Mk1 och Mk2.

Som årsmodell 1967 kom alltså en ny version i Mk 2 med en något stramare och kantigare kaross. Olika motorversioner från 1300-1600 kubik erbjöds och just till årsmodell 1968 kom en 1600E, Executive. . Till årsmodell 1971 kom en ny version men det är en helt annan historia.
