| A lady from Queensland who's never heard of rust driving her 1962 440 along a beach. An Australian publicity photo. (32kb) | ![]() |
| From the same series of publicity shots. A very poor effort at preserving the lawn. (78kb) | ![]() |
| What's the story with those mirrors? Looks like a Japanese spec Cortina... (33kb) | ![]() |
| The highly unpopular standard, also known as the 'ironbar'. It was so badly appointed, and only £30 less than a Deluxe, so no one bought any, and they're now a rarity worth more than an equivalent Deluxe. This pic of the ironical ironbar is courtesy of Kürt Bogaert. (28kb) | ![]() |
| It's a Deluxe, from Kürt Bogaert. Only £30 more than a Standard. Bargain! (29kb) | ![]() |
| Super Deluxe from Kürt Bogaert, scanning addict. Chrome strips on the flanks, a look reserved for GT Cortinas in export markets. (24kb) | ![]() |
| Wagons, or estates. They're none too common. Here's one belonging to a CMOOC person. (31kb) | ![]() |
| A 1965 Mk.I Cortina Estate. Apparently this car is a family daily driver. This maroon shopping trolley had a brush with fame when it appeared in a BBC1 Screen One film alongside Julie Walters for 10 seconds. Wow. (16kb) | ![]() |
| A 1965 automatic wagon. Pic supplied by Paul Charal, who regrets selling this. One of the few billion cars he has owned. (33kb) | ![]() |
| One of what is believed to be four prototype fastback Cortinas built in Australia. Would you have bought one? This is owned by Gary Saunderson in Queensland. (34kb) | ![]() |
| A good view of the rear of the same car. Probably not its best side. (34kb) | ![]() |
| This one didn't even get that far - a Cortina coupe that never was. A prototype called the Saxon. Very nice, reminiscent of an early T-Bird. (20kb) | ![]() |
| The Cortina / Ogle GT Replica, a plushmobile apparently based on a design by Stirling Moss. Don't believe it went into production. Read more in the Aftermarket section. (23kb) | ![]() |
