Description
The Cortina was Ford's mass-market compact car and sold extremely well.
It was produced in five generations, the Mk.
I through to the Mk.

With variants of the Cortina reaching sales of over one million, each successive model proved more popular than its predecessor.
Such was its fame in the UK, that the BBC Two documentary seriesArenaonce devoted an entire programme to the car and its enthusiasts.
In response to the huge success of the Mini, Ford responded not with a small car but with a larger family offering which they could sell in large numbers.
The result was the Cortina; a distinctively styled car aimed at buyers of the Morris Oxford and Vauxhall Victor, launched on 20th September 1962.
With eye-catching modern styling, it was originally branded as the Consul Cortina until a modest facelift in 1964, after which, it was sold simply as the Cortina but with four trim levels; Standard, Deluxe, Super and GT.
