Vehicle Details
AI Listing Summary
This 1965 Ford Cortina Mk. I, originally a 1200cc De Luxe model, has been upgraded with a RS2000 engine and other performance parts for fast road use, making it a 'pocket rocket' historic vehicle. While it retains some original features and presents well, its modified nature and age suggest it may require some attention.
Condition
6
The car has been modified with an RS2000 engine, Type 9 gearbox, and other performance enhancements, suggesting mechanical attention and likely some wear. The description mentions it 'presents very well' but also indicates it was 'much modified' and retains its original rear bench seat, implying a mix of original and upgraded components. There's mention of past MoT certificates, suggesting some history of maintenance, but also that it's now tax and MoT exempt, indicating it's of an age where stricter scrutiny isn't required. The presence of Minilite alloy wheels and disc brakes suggests upgrades, while the overall description points to moderate wear and the need for some reconditioning to bring it to a higher standard.
