Registration: GTP 323EOdometer: 5, 233 + 94, 000Transmission: ManualMOT: March 2027Authentically liveried in 1967 Team Lotus coloursIn current ownership for 18 years withUpgrades and modification some years ago.. It has been modified and upgraded in period-style by the previous owner, incorporating elements from the later Series 2 model, including the dashboard and wiring loomthe car features a period-correct black vinyl interior, complemented by a 1600E-specification dashboard. The interior condition is very good to good, in keeping with the car’s wonderful character. The ownership history is particularly appealing, with just two former keepers and the last owner having enjoyed the car for the past 18 years.. Repainted around 2012 in the iconic ‘Cortina Lotus’ Team Lotus Works colours of 1967, the car carries Graham Hill’s race number ‘105’ as a tribute to his entry at the 1967 Oulton Park Gold Cup. The overall effect is a well-executed homage, with details such as the correct race and registration number placement, Minilite-style wheels and a bumper delete. At its heart, the car remains a 1967 Cortina Mk2, powered by a 1600cc inline four-cylinder engine and has a Series 1 bodyshell.. Practical and safety-focused enhancements include relocating the battery to the boot, along with the addition of a power cut-off switch, and a firewalled rear compartment with a metal panel behind the rear seat. Further upgrades include an improved braking system, with vented front discs, Wilwood four-pot callipers and 9-inch rear brake drums.. the car retains all of its original body panels and has not required welding to the floorpans, sills or outriggers. It is supplied with a quantity of MOT history and benefits from a current MOT valid until March 2027.
