Seller's Description
1 of 3 Lotus Cortinas I purchased from Dick Rowland in York UK approx 13 years ago. ( The other two Lotus Cortinas and a very rare 2 Door Cortina GT also for sale). My very rare September 1963 Lotus Cortina with matching numbers Engine , Head and Body Tags has had a full Rottiserie rebuild and requires reassembly following Panel and Paint. The Engine has had a complete rebuild and rebore. The Interior is has been fully recovered by Aldridge Trimming UK as well as all new door and rear wing cards , dash top , Centre Console , Under dash parcel shelf, Footwell sides and sill covers as well as a new headlining. 2 X new Alloy door skins , original Alloy boot and Bonnet , "A" frame rear suspension , 2.5:1 1st gear gearbox requiring reassembly including all Alloy Bellhousing , Remote shifter and remote tail housing, straight steering arms , new Petrol tank , Rubber mats , leather trimmed S.E. Steering wheel, Original DCOE18 Webers , new wiring harness , Original front struts requiring repair or replacement. Letter of Authenticity from Jeff Fenton previous Lotus Cortina Registrar. This holy grail of Lotus Cortinas may be hiding something special as beneath its as purchased light blue paintwork and on top of its original Ermine White paintwork the car was found to have had at sometime in its life received a full glass out respray in Red which Dick Rowland tried to search details on thinking it could be a Willment Racing team car but had no luck in tracing its history back to those days. The car will come with the Rottiserie the Shell is mounted on and can be viewed in Kelmscott , WA 6111. Various documents including a previous owner from Cyprus included. With the high price these cars are commanding this investment opportunity of a very rare matching numbers early Lotus Cortina will suit the astute buyer.
