The Ford Cortina, a timeless classic that has left its mark on various iconic moments throughout history. From the Salon Car Race at Crystal Palace in 1966 to gracing the cover of the 1972 Ford Cortina Mk3 sales brochure, this car has always been a symbol of style and performance. In Swansea, it became part of the city's landscape as it parked proudly in the first multi-storey car park on Orchard Street. Even traffic policemen in Cambridge couldn't resist allowing these sleek machines to pass by on St Andrews Street. Earlsdon Street in Coventry came alive with excitement on August 20th, 1976, as bustling crowds admired the beauty and craftsmanship of these Ford Cortinas. And who could forget the stunning 1965 Ford Cortina Estate Mk1? Its creator may be unknown, but its impact is undeniable. Not only did these cars capture hearts locally; they also made their way across borders. The export market was captivated by Ford Cortinas in 1963 – a testament to their global appeal. But even reliable vehicles like the Ford Cortina sometimes needed assistance. R. A. C breakdown services were there for support when necessary, ensuring that these beloved cars never stayed stranded for long. Shaun Balfe's CM27 6909 and CM27 6986 brought racing glory to this model, showcasing its power and speed on tracks around the world. And let's not forget about other remarkable feats – like lifting heat exchangers into place at Silver Blades Ice Rink or being immortalized by artist Michael Walters outside The NatWest Bank in Mexborough. The legacy of the Ford Cortina lives on through countless memories captured within each photograph and story shared here. It remains an enduring symbol of automotive excellence that continues to inspire admiration among enthusiasts worldwide.
