Vehicle Details
AI Listing Summary
This 1972 Ford Cortina 1600 GT Mk3 is presented as a highly original and well-maintained example, boasting 74,000 believed-original miles and rust protection from new. While the car presents very well for its age, prospective buyers should note that minor work is needed on the driver's seat and center armrest to bring them up to the standard of the rest of the interior.
Condition
7
The car is described as a 'wonderfully original example that has clearly been cherished' and in 'very good condition, particularly considering the car’s originality and age'. However, it's also noted that the driver’s seat and centre armrest would benefit from some attention. This suggests that while the car is well-maintained and original, it isn't in perfect condition and requires minor reconditioning, placing it in the 'Very Good' category.

Description
Description Highly original example Showing 74k mileage Ziebarted from new MOT, Tax & ULEZ exempt HPi Clear Few cars capture the spirit of early 1970s British motoring quite like a Mk3 Cortina.
Honest, stylish and hugely usable, this 1600 GT is a wonderfully original example that has clearly been cherished.
With just 74,000 miles believed genuine and careful ownership, it represents a rare opportunity to acquire a solid and increasingly desirable classic.
Background & History When the Mk3 generation of the Ford Cortina Mk3 arrived in 1970, it marked a dramatic shift in design for Ford Motor Company’s hugely successful family saloon.
Dubbed the Coke Bottle Cortina due to its curvaceous American inspired styling, it became one of Britain’s most recognisable cars of the decade.
The 1600 GT variant offered a sportier driving experience while maintaining the practicality that made the Cortina a household name.
Our vendor has owned the GT for around four years but is just not using it ...
