Motorsport Showroom Exclusive: 1961 Mk1 Ford Cortina 2-litre Twin-Cam For Sale

Motorsport Showroom are pleased to present to market, on behalf of its owner, a fabulous Mk1 Cortina fitted with a 2-litre Twin-Cam engine which boasts impressive results and is on the button ready to go.

It was built in the mid-1980s by Mark Dales Classic Cars as one of three run by the team at that time and this particular car is the only surviving original example. Having been a race car since the 80s, it has been continuously developed over the years with the emphasis in recent years on reliability and performance.

Our vendor has really enjoyed the Cortina in rounds of both the HSCC (Historic Touring Cars) and CSCC (Adams & Page Swinging Sixties series) Championships and naturally it’s eligible for, and would be welcome at, a whole variety of other events.

Privately owned by our vendor for the last eight years, it has been fastidiously maintained and has benefited from his vast experience in the world of motor racing. The car was last raced in the Oulton Park Gold Cup in 2020 when it proved very competitive braking the 5-year-old class lap record. Indeed, the senior citizen owner-driver has achieved numerous class and overall wins competing with this car in his ownership, whilst also at certain circuits managing to outpace both Mustangs and Falcons.

An impressive spares package is included and, as with the build specification again, full details will be available on request to interested parties.

Please do get in touch (harry@motorsportshowroom.com) to find out more about this fantastic historic race car that offers a gateway into some of the best Historic and Classic Motorsport available anywhere.
