This Mk1 Lotus Cortina is a well-presented and usable ‘Aeroflow’ example of an iconic classic. Although there are no receipts with the car, our vendor reports that around 2008 it had restoration work that included an engine rebuild by Burton Engineering, and is fitted with Vernier cams. Recent recommissioning work has included the fitting of a new fuel tank, oil filter and plugs, before being presented for a voluntary MoT which was passed with no advisories and remains valid to 18th January 2027. The odometer is showing 96 miles.

It comes with MoT certificates from 2008, ‘09 and ’26, an old tax disc, and previous & current V5Cs. The car was first registered on 25th August 1966 and has been registered to its latest keeper since 2008.
