Love Mk 1 Lotus Cortinas! The sound when she’s opened right up along the straight is music to my ears! Got to love the cheeky Mini Coopers nipping through the inside on the corners… but down the straights it’s ‘no contest’!
Cameron, in stock livery, they developed 105 hp from 1600 cc, DOHC engine. They were pretty quick in their day, but where they shined was in their handling. I had one when I was 18...my second car. Should have never sold it.
When we were lads my best freind had a mk 1 lotus cortina no one around our area had one, he spent half his life popping the bonnet so everyone could have a butcher's at the engine 😂 we got well and truly stuffed on the way home one night by a lad in our village in a mini cooper s through the real twisty stuff .Both great cars👌
