| Description |
The UK designed Cortina was built from 1962-82, the Mark 1, from 1962-66 was reasonably priced, cheap to run and proved to be very successful in motorsport. There were 2 main variations of the Mk 1 Cortina, the first was known as the 'pre airflow' Mk 1 Consul Cortina, it had elliptical front indicators outside the grille. The main facelift in Oct 1964, the 'airflow' model, the Consul name dropped, now just 'Cortina', new squarer parkers were incorporated within the grille, it also got new flow through ventilation (eyeball vents in another new dash and vents in the outer rear pillars). Mark 1 Cortinas were also built in Australia, varying slightly in badging and interior trim. Models there were; 220 2 door (1200cc and 5 bar grille), 240 2 door and 440 4 door (both with 60hp 1500) also the 4 door GT (78hp 1500) In 1965, Ford commissioned Harry Firth to build 112 cars to make sure Ford won the 1965 Armstrong 500 (Hence the name GT500) (Bo Seton and Mitch Bosworth did win the race in this car) They were based on the Cortina GT, but 2 door with alloy brake scoops, auxilliary fuel tank with twin fillers, Lotus close ratio gearbox, a modified engine, (new cam, lightened flywheel and modified heads) ported and polished head and lowered suspension. |
