Motorsport legend
Should the mood take you to get a sixties car with a strong motorsport connection, a MkI Ford Cortina would be a good choice. Owners tend to not just cherish the things, but get out and drive them.
In a feature on the MkI we note: “In Europe, where the small car has always been king, Ford has had some kind of mortgage on small-car performance. Sure, Renault Gordinis and Fiat Abarths (and many others) came and went in small numbers and the Volkswagen Golf GTI invented the hot hatch, but way back in the 1960s, Ford was building high-performance small cars that took the motorsport world by storm and spawned a genre of cars that are probably more relevant today than ever.”
Because the real thing is in short supply and prices are very high, tributes have become a popular option, and this is one.
It’s running a worked 1640cc inline four with a four-speed manual.
Located in Bargo, NSW, it’s on the market at $42,500.
