The second incarnation of the Cortina was designed by Roy Haynes, and launched on 18 October 1966. The Cortina was Britain's most popular new car in 1967, achieving the goal that Ford had been trying to achieve since it set out to create the original Cortina back in 1962. Period reviews were favourable concerning both the styling and performance. Again, two-door and four-door saloons were offered with base, Deluxe, Super, GT and, later, 1600E trims available, but again, not across all body styles and engine options. A few months after the introduction of the saloon versions, a four-door estate was launched, released on the UK market on 15 February 1967.
For 1969, the Mark II range was given subtle revisions, with separate "FORD" block letters mounted on the bonnet and boot lids, a blacked out grille and chrome strips on top and below the taillights running the full width of the tail panel marking them out. Crayford Engineering (more commonly known simply as Crayford) was an automobile coachbuilder based in Westerham, Kent, and formed in 1962 by Jeffrey Smith .Crayford did a series of Ford convertibles, including the Cortina Mk I, Cortina Mk II and Corsair Convertible.
This example is finished in Radiant Red, complimented with contrasting period black leather interior. No advisories on last MOT. This is a 1968 historic example, professionally converted by Crayford to a convertible and is recorded as a convertible on the Registration Document. In exceptional condition throughout, this must be one of the best, or the best in class, with no corrosion. There is a specification sheet detailing some of the work from 2004 to 2014. A multiple show winner, with a new hood and just serviced. Ready to show! This car is in outstanding condition.
