The good old MK 2 Cortina! any blue blooded male over 50 years of age will have a story about one of these little cars!

Hard to believe its 50 years old now, and it still looks cool even today!

This stunning little gem has received a full ground up rebuild in the past, with all work being completed here in CH CH by well respected tradespeople, and this example still presents exceptionally well today.

The body is remarkably straight and has clearly had a lot of previous work carried out, before being refinished in a quality coat of Dark British Racing Green, complemented by the correct black interior with the neat and unique gauges up on the dash, and a neat set of old school period style Mini Lite alloys.

The beautifully finished paintwork is further complemented with nice polished stainless trim and bright work, and all new rubbers, while a lot of attention to detail has been lavished around the entire body, with everything were it should be, and looking very period correct.
The running gear has obviously also been gone through with the sweet running little 1600 cc engine performing very well and shifting nicely with the 4 speed floor shift, onto the original diff with the correct GT anti tramp rods, and factory GT disc brakes up front.

As is often the case with a lot of 50 year old classic sporting Cortina's, this now very rare example has had a previous life, and as a result required a full and very extensive restoration to bring it back. This work was completed with a very good donor vehicle supplying the lifeline, and extensive work has been carried out to build an exceptionally clean shell to a high standard which is testament to the calibre of the talented restorers, as this Cortina has been a previous award winner at concourse level, and has been a consistent and well respected entrant at many Cortina Car Club events over the years.

The original body tag which has survived and is still fitted decodes this example as starting life in November of 1967 and being built as a LHD "2 Door GT" with the then new 1600 cc High Compression Cross Flow engine, making it one of the early examples of the new 1600cc powered "GT" cars.

A very sharp example of a now very rare classic two door Cortina GT at a price that won't break the bank, and genuinely reflects less than half of what the cost of trying to restore one of these properly would run too in today's money....if you could find one to start with..

A lot of very well restored car for the money, you don't find many sporting Sixties English Fords like this anymore, especially in this sort of condition for this amount of money....

A well known local car that never fails to impress, well detailed, and well presented.
