Description
Original swiss car, in the hand of its current owner by many years, who carefully restored it in Germany, and yet today enjoys this iconic Cortina around one of the most beautiful, and iconic, landscape like St. Moritz.
Leather seats with its outer green leather profile, and immaculate interiors, as well as mechanich conditions.
Chassis *706 85 has been first registered in April 1966, that means this Cortina is an Aeroflow ventilation MK1 model.
Car yet has its double original keys, original front grille, spare wheels and tools.
The Cortina is a perfect daily classic car, but bare in mind that it could be easily converted into a regularity competitive car.
Nevertheless if you wish to keep this car in its original region, such a landscape as the Engadin, renowed as "The top of the World", company MATTIA GRANDORI GmbH can provide you storage and maintenance service, and get the car ready for its best local, but internationally renowed, event called British Classic Car Meeting, in mid July 2024!
FORD CORTINA MK1 HISTORY in a nutshell
Unveiled in September 1962 in a standard & deluxe spec. Firstly called "The Archbishop", Ford decided than to improve massively the replacement of the Anglia 105E, focusing on an overhead valve engine, 4 speed gearbox, MacPherson strut front suspension and recirculating ball steering. Ford Cortina created a total new segment of the British car market, marketing new standards for the following two decades since mid Sixties.
Soon the "Y" iconic rear lights became the symbol of this beautiful car: light, simple, functional, british taste and...drivable.
The 1500 engine of this sports Cortina was fitted with twin choke Weber carburetor, front disc brakes, remote gearchange and modified suspension.
