Ford Cortina Mk1 2door

My 1963 Ford Cortina Mk1 pre-airflow , 1200cc deluxe, 2door, lhd.

The car is in very good original condition .The car runs and drives well and i have just covered 500miles in her this week.I use her as much as i can as its such a fun car to drive around in.


There is some slight surface rust coming through in a couple of places but is very minor and almost a shame to repair.The car is very solid , floors , chassis etc.I can supply lots of photos if interested.

The odemeter reads 30,000kms , whether this is correct is anyones guess but the engine runs great and the conditon of the interior would perhaps confirm this.

I have the french logbook in my name and she also has just had a CT,( french Mot).

The car will be brought back to the UK and would be available in the Kent area.

Thanks for looking.

A 1200 is particularly rare --- due to the well known engine bearing problems.

" and defuinatly due to the Ban The Bomb van rear lights "

I stand to be corrected, but I am sure it was only the saloon that had the "ban the bomb" rear lights
the estate and vans had one above the other arrangment





Thats was probably spelt wrong, or had some grammer, that the "grammer police have to have a moan at
