Description
This car can be viewed in person from 14th to 18th July 2020 at our the auction site, Windsorview Lakes, Datchet, SL3 9HY Launched on 20th September 1962, the Ford Cortina had eye-catching modern styling.
It was originally branded as the Ford 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.
The GT was the most powerful and as such, is highly sought after today.
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 which was produced in five generations (Mk.
I through to Mk.
V).
With variants of the Cortina reaching sales of over one million and each successive model proving more popular than its predecessor, such was its fame in the UK that the BBC Two documentary series Arena once devoted an entire programme to the car and its enthusiasts.
