February 2022 Classics Auction
1964 Ford Cortina 1500 Super
Registration - CVF 83B
Chassis No. - 284D168303K
M.O.T. - Exempt
Odometer -
This very original-looking example of the model that once dominated UK roads was first registered in June 1964 and features black bodywork that’s complemented by bright red vinyl interior trim. It is a relatively rare automatic transmission version that has benefited from the refurbishment of its 1500cc Kent engine, four-speed gearbox and braking and electrical systems, plus the recent renewal of the carburettor, tyres and battery. The vendor presently classes the engine, transmission and four-door saloon bodywork as ‘excellent’ and the paintwork and upholstery as ‘good’. He is now offering this seven-owner Ford for sale complete with wing mirrors, stainless steel wheel trims and period push-button radio.
For the first two years of its existence, the model in question was dubbed the Consul Cortina, linking it to previous Ford models and the Consul Classic and Consul Capri that were sold in the same period – the Cortina moniker was inspired by the Italian venue for the 1956 winter Olympics, Cortina d’Ampezzo. At introduction the car was powered by an 1,193cc three-bearing version of the company’s already well-known four-cylinder, OHV ‘Kent’ engine, though the option of a five-bearing 1,500cc unit followed within months. Initially the mechanical specification echoed that of the proven Anglia with four-speed manual gearbox, drum brakes all round, MacPherson strut front suspension and live axle mounted on leaf springs at the rear, and recirculating ball steering. The chief designer of this ultimately very successful car was the Canadian-American Roy Brown Junior, who ironically also had the disastrous Edsel on his CV. Production of the MK I Cortina ran from 1962 to 1966, when it was replaced by the more rounded MKII.
In summary:
- A very original-looking and well-presented example
- Refurbished engine and gearbox and many new mechanical items
- Just seven owners over almost 60 years
