Today, we’re back in the 1960s with Lotus. This is the Mk1 version of the Ford Cortina Lotus (usually referred to as the Lotus Cortina), seen here at last year’s NEC Classic Car Show. The Mk1 was introduced in 1963. The Lotus treatment included a special twin-cam version of the Ford Kent engine, bodywork strengthening and a more sophisticated suspension set-up than the standard Ford Cortina. Something of a legend. More in a similar vein tomorrow.
