Classic Carlectables 1/18 Diecast Replica of the Ford Cortina

Ford Cortina: A British Icon (1962–1982)

Originally developed under the project name “Archbishop”, the Ford Cortina was Ford of Britain’s answer to the growing demand for a practical and affordable family car. Launched in 1962 as the Consul Cortina, it was designed to be economical, easy to maintain and cost-effective to produce. Following a subtle facelift in 1964, it became known simply as the Cortina.

With its lightweight construction and impressive handling, the Cortina quickly proved it had more to offer than everyday practicality. Ford engineers developed the Cortina GT with a Cosworth-tuned 1.5L Kent engine, upgraded transmission, brakes and suspension, together with a sporty centre console and additional instrumentation. The result was impressive performance at an accessible price, with a top speed of 95 mph and rapid acceleration.

The Cortina GT also made its mark in motorsport. Homologated for rallying, it achieved numerous international victories throughout the mid-1960s. In Australia, the model became a Mount Panorama legend, dominating the Armstrong 500 in both 1963 and 1964.

This item includes a certificate of authenticity and a production number plate mounted to the chassis.
