1963 Ford Lotus Cortina Pre-Airflow 'A' Frame For Sale

1963 Ford Lotus Cortina Pre-Airflow ‘A’ Frame. The car was built in March 1963, being one of the 100 cars that were needed for homologation, and is number 88 with engine number 104. It was first registered on 16th July 1963 in Kent and was equipped with the works modification rear axle tube which was developed for racing as it stopped the ‘A’ frame from breaking out of the differential. The body has aluminium door skins, bonnet and boot lid with strengthening rear suspension struts in the boot and a domed bulge in the boot floor for differential clearance.

The car has matching numbers and has the original body shell and during the restoration very little metal had to be repaired. It was lightly restored in the 1980’s and a total restoration began in 2014 which took 2 years and included bare metal respray, engine and gearbox rebuild, new electrics, suspension and transmission, etc.

The engine is standard but was lightly upgraded to 140bhp, keeping the original head and block. The interior is also original and includes the wood studded steering wheel.

The car comes with a very extensive full history file dating back to 1963, the green log book, licence discs, MOTs, invoices and articles: Practical Classics, Quarter Bumper Lotus Cortina Register, Classic Cars and the ITV programme ‘Classic Cars’

Total spend on the car and restoration is in excess of £100, 000.

The Lotus Registry have documented the car several times and the sun visor is signed by Jack Sears and Sir John Whitmore.
