1967 Mk2 Cortina 1500 Super Automatic 2 door Series 1 For Sale

For sale is my 2 door Series 1 Mk2 Cortina 1500 Automatic Super that I've owned for 8+ years.
This is a genuine UK car built and first registered here. It is an "F" reg that was built in February 1967 so is a pretty early one. I have been told that the car was a demonstrator at a dealership in London originally.

The car is pretty rare considering that it is a 1500 with the lip seal crank (that was only supplied for 8 months or so in the mk2 cortina).
It's a Super model with the Super trims.
It has a column change with automatic Borg Warner 35 gearbox. Massive gearbox tunnel so it's suitable for a manual conversion using most large 5 speed gearboxes without room issues. The gearbox was fully overhauled by me soon after I bought the car as it need new clutch bands and piston seals etc. It works and changes gear perfectly.
Full length Golde sun roof (longer than a Webasto) in blue supplied and fitted by Allard Motor Co.
Under dash handbrake similar to GT's and Lotus - I presume this was supplied with the car due to it being an automatic to keep the controls close to each other.
Roller bearing suspension leg top mounts.

The car is on most of it's original panels ie arches, sills, floors, a-pillars, quarter panels etc etc. It had a new (Genuine Ford as far as I know) back/ boot panel in my ownership after the original one got damaged. It may have had replacement wings at some point but cannot confirm. It has good floors, good chassis rails, leafspring hangers, a-posts, b-posts and c-pillars (no rust around the vents), good outer sills where they join the quarter panel, good doors and quarter panels etc etc.
Wings are god around the headlamp panels suggesting that the normally rotten headlight backing panels are good.
The car needs attention to the inner wing strut tops and pans as they have corrosion in them and this was an MOT fail a while back. Slam panel ends need attention. Front jacking points to inner sills also. Wheel arch lips will need work. Bonnet is going as they do under the closing panel area. Passenger side wheel tub needs a repair. Paintwork is tired as is the interior. It wasn't a show car, it was my daily driver!
Obviously the car needs viewing to see the overall condition as there will be things that I've missed.

If I had the time I would sort out the bodywork myself as I believe it's worth doing. I'm just short of time at the moment.

The car runs and drives but will need to be taken away on a trailer or flat bed.

Any genuinely interested parties are welcome to come and fully inspect the car.
