A genuine matching numbers correct Mk1 Lotus Cortina with an interesting history.
My car for last 9 years. Correct V5 logbook.

HISTORY
A well known and successful historic rally car campaigned in 1980s and 1990s with original FIA and RAC papers.
The car has been rebuilt from the ground up and was completed in October 2015. It has only covered approximately 3500 miles since. A change in motor sport direction prompts a reluctant sale. The car is on the button and ready to go, ideal for historic motorsport.
