FORD CORTINA 1600E

2-door saloon, 4-door saloon.

The 'E' stands for 'Executive' but it's a bit more than that. There's a late-type 88bhp GT engine, the lowered suspension is off the Lotus model, and the package includes quad lights, wood dash, wide-rim wheels, leather-rimmed steering wheel, and reversing lamps, plus black tail panels on later cars. Strong collector-interest. Some 2563 2-door 1600Es were built, for export only.
