We have had the car inspected by The Lotus Cortina Register and they confirmed that it is a Genuine 1968 MK2 Series 1. 5 Lotus Cortina , and all items present under the bonnet, including the Original Air Cleaner Assembly, Correct Girling MK2a Servo. The Dynamo has been upgraded to an Alternator with wiring changed to accommodate. It even has the weather strip which is often missing on these cars. The inspection report and valuation will come as part of the sale. The wheels are after marker ones brand new as are the tyres The bodyshell looks to be in Exceptional Condition all round with no rust showing and presents amazingly underneath. The engine sounds fabulous. The interior is fabulous fresh from a full Retrim including carpets seats and head linning All in all, a very solid example which looks fantastic from every angle and an ideal Collectors car. The MK2 Series 1. 5 'Lotus Cortina' was built using the heavy duty and already rally successful MK2 GT Body shell with Anti Tramp Bars on the rear and rolled wheel arches at the front to accommodate the wider wheels. 2 Prototype GT's were sent to the Boreham Plant to be developed into the Cortina 'Lotus' where the suspension was also developed, lowered by an inch and upgraded, and the car fitted with radial tyres. The result was a car that handled really well on the road as a Performance saloon.The car has an mot last year and is tax free I would be interested in a px but only with a 3 door Ford Sierra Cosworth has to be a nice example no projects thank you Any inspection welcome there's hundreds of pics of the car and a walk round video if your serious pick up the phone and let's have a chat
