It\u2019s also a way of life. When we\u2019re not improving the site in a bid to perfect the buying experience, we\u2019re living and breathing petrol, carbs and chrome. It\u2019s what gets us up in the morning. The thought of getting behind the wheel of our own classic, well, that\u2019s the dream.<\/span><\/p>\n<style>.embed-container { position: relative; padding-bottom: 56.25%; height: 0; overflow: hidden; max-width: 100%; } .embed-container iframe, .embed-container object, .embed-container embed { position: absolute; top: 0; left: 0; width: 100%; height: 100%; }<\/style>\n<div class=\"embed-container\"><iframe src=\"https:\/\/player.vimeo.com\/video\/332696500\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/div>\n<p><span style=\"color: #036300;\"><b>Why have we bought a project?<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It\u2019s simple really. The classic car world is about more than the cars within it. It\u2019s also a social world full of events, which in turn are full of interesting people who of course, have interesting cars. We have a calendar of events we plan to be at, and frankly we could be there without a car of our own. But where\u2019s the fun in that? We don\u2019t want to turn up in some ubiquitous modern car that nobody looks twice at. If we\u2019re going to these events, we\u2019re going to it properly.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This website is us, it\u2019s what we live for. Many of the staff behind the scenes have classics \u2013 the CEO for example, has a Rover P5B Coupe, our Editor has a Zephyr, there\u2019s a Capri in the car park, too. We love classics. But for this new venture we wanted a new car, so that\u2019s why we went scouring through our own adverts and bought this.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The other thing is that, unlike everything else on the Car &amp; Classic fleet, the car we\u2019ve bought is a racer. A proper, time-served racer at that and as much fun as it would be to send the CEO\u2019s Rover P5 howling into apexes, we thought it best to buy something better-suited.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #036300;\"><b>What car is it?<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It\u2019s a 1965 Ford Cortina 1500GT. As we alluded to earlier, it\u2019s a race car and has been for a long time, primarily being used for rallying with the occasional track stint thrown in for good measure. It is, for lack of a better phrase, a proper bit of kit. It\u2019s not a \u2018have a go\u2019 racer \u2013 our Cortina has the FIVA and FIA paperwork to back up its racing claims.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-457\" src=\"https:\/\/www.carandclassic.co.uk\/magazine\/app\/uploads\/2019\/04\/52576461_629902397465030_3285053315993305088_n-960x640.jpg\" alt=\"Cortina, Ford Cortina, Cortina GT, Carandclassic, project car, \" width=\"960\" height=\"640\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.carandclassic.com\/magazine\/app\/uploads\/2019\/04\/52576461_629902397465030_3285053315993305088_n-960x640.jpg 960w, https:\/\/www.carandclassic.com\/magazine\/app\/uploads\/2019\/04\/52576461_629902397465030_3285053315993305088_n-960x640-800x533.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.carandclassic.com\/magazine\/app\/uploads\/2019\/04\/52576461_629902397465030_3285053315993305088_n-960x640-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.carandclassic.com\/magazine\/app\/uploads\/2019\/04\/52576461_629902397465030_3285053315993305088_n-960x640-765x510.jpg 765w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 960px) 100vw, 960px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Painted in Alan Mann colours, it\u2019s got the right look from the off.

Our Cortina has the go, too. This comes care of the 1500 pre-crossflow engine. From the factory it was a fairly unremarkable lump, however, ours has been played with by the talented hands at<\/span><a href=\"http:\/\/www.throbnozzle-racing.co.uk\/\"> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Throbnozzle Racing<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. A silly name, but a very serious outfit when it comes to getting power out of these old engines.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The engine has, as far as we can tell, been reworked from the cylinder head up. That means it\u2019s been ported, polished, the cam has been swapped out for something keener and the whole thing has been made to feed off a pair of Weber twin 40s. All in all, this means approximately 100bhp. Not a lot in today\u2019s terms, but more than enough for our featherweight Cortina.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-462\" src=\"https:\/\/www.carandclassic.co.uk\/magazine\/app\/uploads\/2019\/04\/52813253_825469854468659_6241883487469568000_n-960x640.jpg\" alt=\"Cortina, Ford Cortina, Cortina GT, Carandclassic, project car, Cortina 1500 engine, Weber twin 40s, Throbnozzle Racing\" width=\"960\" height=\"640\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.carandclassic.com\/magazine\/app\/uploads\/2019\/04\/52813253_825469854468659_6241883487469568000_n-960x640.jpg 960w, https:\/\/www.carandclassic.com\/magazine\/app\/uploads\/2019\/04\/52813253_825469854468659_6241883487469568000_n-960x640-800x533.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.carandclassic.com\/magazine\/app\/uploads\/2019\/04\/52813253_825469854468659_6241883487469568000_n-960x640-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.carandclassic.com\/magazine\/app\/uploads\/2019\/04\/52813253_825469854468659_6241883487469568000_n-960x640-765x510.jpg 765w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 960px) 100vw, 960px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Chassis-wise, it\u2019s largely standard in terms of mountings etc \u2013 there\u2019s no four-link, for example. This is to comply with certain historic regulations. The suspension has been lowered and uprated though, and the brakes are now slightly more capable than the stock parts thanks in no small part to the addition of a servo. The fuel tank has been relocated, there are no back seats, there are sump guards and the current tyres are of a \u2018gravely\u2019 disposition.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The car was converted for competition used some years ago and was campaigned by <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/heroevents.eu\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">HERO <\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">as one of their \u2018arrive and drive\u2019 classics for road rally and track events before being retired around three years ago.

We knew about the dented wing and the damage on the rear from a \u2018love tap\u2019. We also knew about the rust in the doors. We didn\u2019t, however, know just how rotten it was underneath.

The A-pillars need a fettle before they get worse. The bulkhead has some holes, too. It\u2019s the rear, however, where the true horror hides. It turns out the rear spring hangers are very nearly dust. The chassis rails are also suffering from a fair bit of \u2018ventilation\u2019 too.
