Odometer Replacement 1.6L Twin-Cam Inline-Four Dual Dellorto Carburetos Four-Speed Manual Transmission White Paint w/Green Stripes Black Vinyl Upholstery 13" Steel Wheels Front Disc Brakes Wood-Rimmed Steering Wheel Push-Button AM/FM Radio Service Records This 1966 Lotus Cortina is a left-hand-drive Mk1 example that is said to have been initially registered in Delaware before being acquired by its second owner in 1970, a founding member of the Lotus Club of America.
It reportedly remained under their ownership for around four decades, after which the car changed hands in the early 2010s and was relocated to the UK.
The bodywork was subsequently refinished in white with green stripes, and a replacement 1,558cc Lotus Twin-Cam four was also rebuilt and installed.
Shifting is via a four-speed manual transmission, and further equipment includes dual Dellorto carburetors, 13″ steel wheels, front disc brakes, a wood-rimmed steering wheel, and a push-button AM/FM radio.
