It seems strange that there seems to be many more Mk1 and Mk2 Cortinas surviving than later ones, with the Mk4 being by far the rarest.

My first was a teal blue Mk2 NOK306F 1300cc,engine was too small really but it got me thru my driving test and i loved that motor..loved the video btw :)

Sorry for being a bit daft, but the cars in the first part of the video were Lotus Cortina? I thought that there was a difference between the Lotus' and the Fords.but I dont know what the diff is. I like both, but I always associate the Lotus Cortina with racing. Nice video. I like the timeline over it;s production life.

i love the mk2 i had 20 of them when i was younger, best one was 1600gt, i did a 0 to 60 test in 8 sec which was very good for a car that age, considering some modern cars with bigger engines are slower
