The Lotus Cortina MKII with Lucas mechanical fuel injection is a special and rare car. After the great success of the Lotus Cortina MKI, Ford introduced the Lotus Cortina MKII in 1967. In Europe, this model was sold under the name Ford Cortina Twin Cam. Like its predecessor, it is equipped with the well-known Lotus 1600 Twin Cam engine, which delivered 4 hp more power in this version. Unlike the first series, the second series was constructed differently by Ford and was available in all standard Ford colours. Nevertheless, 80% of these vehicles were delivered in the colour Ermine White.
This example is an early, original Lotus Cortina MKII Series 1, built in 1967 and delivered to Sweden on July 2 of that year. It is one of the rare left-hand drive export models, of which only 622 were produced. What is special about this vehicle is that it is equipped with an odometer instead of a mileage counter, which was common for export models.
With chassis number BA91GL85843, this is a very well preserved example. The car is in good condition and is still in its original colour. The bodywork is 100% solid, with no rust or need for welding or paintwork. This Lotus Cortina has been in the possession of the current owner for over a decade and was driving without any problems when it was purchased. The car is homologated for Group 5 and is registered in the Swedish Race Register for Circuit Racing. The current dry sump system can easily be replaced with a standard oil pan, if desired. The car can be registered in any EU country and is equipped with a roll cage and Minilite rims. The original front and rear seats are also present.
A unique feature of this car is the rare Lucas mechanical fuel injection system, driven via a special belt on the camshaft, the so-called Belt Drive Injection pump system. This system is particularly rare and highly sought after, especially in the UK.
