Description

1968 'G' registered with 24, 745 miles showing (Cannot be verified) Lotus White with a Green Flash, Black Vinyl Seats and 3 Spoke Leather Rimmed Steering Wheel.



The MK2 'Lotus Cortina' was built using the heavy duty and already rally successful MK2 GT Body shell with Anti Tramp Bars on the rear and rolled wheel arches at the front to accommodate the wider wheels. 2 Prototype GT's were sent to the Boreham Plant to be developed into the Cortina 'Lotus' where the suspension was also developed, lowered by an inch and upgraded, and the car fitted with radial tyres. The result was a car that handled really well on the road as a Performance saloon.

There was a Performance Options Package available for the first time ever, that enabled any owner to transform their 'Lotus Cortina' from the Performance Road car that left the factory, to replicate the 'Works' cars if they wanted to.



This particular 'Lotus Cortina' comes with the log book change from 1986. the bodyshell looks to be in exceptional condition all round and presents amazingly underneath. The engine sounds fabulous and pulls very well, making this a very enjoyable car to drive. All in all, a very solid example which looks fantastic from every angle and a very easy car to own, maintain and enjoy, and would generate a crowd in any car show or meet.



Anyone who knows anything about these is instantly attracted to it and it definitely deserves the time to come and see it for yourself if you are even close to being in the market for one. We also have a second car, a MK1 Cortina Twin Cam 'Lotus Cortina' please see our website for more details
