Mileage: 16, 500 (warranted)
The Mk. I Ford Cortina was produced between 1962 - 1966. Produced as a family car for the masses, the design brief was to create a cheap car to produce whilst being affordable to run for the owner.
This stunning Estate is thought to be one of the best examples left. In ‘Goodwood’ green (BR paint code) and from a private collection, the car is in excellent all-round condition. The exterior including paint, chrome work and wheels are in potentially show-winning order, whilst the interior (A893 trim code) and engine bay appear as though the car has come straight off the production line. The condition is unsurprising considering the car has just over 16, 000 warranted miles from new. The seller reports that the car runs and drives as it should for such a low mileage car. It is believed it could be the lowest mileage Cortina Estate in the UK, possibly Europe.
This Ford has had just four previous owners from new. The sale includes a current V5C as well as a history file. 428 JBU is ready to be used and enjoyed by the next Ford enthusiast looking to rekindle old memories of a fantastic era of motor cars.
Estimate: £18, 000 – 20, 000
