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). In England and NZ, the Mk I was available in 2 or 4 door saloon and 5 door estate, models were Standard, Deluxe, Super and GT. Lotus developed a Cortina for racing with 105hp 1500cc twin cam. Mark 1 Cortinas were also built in Australia, varying slightly in badging and interior trim.
