Cortina cover

In the 1960s the Cortina was an entirely new type of British car – light yet strong, cheap to buy, and yet roomy. It established a new class of car - the 'Cortina Class' - and Ford's rivals had to rush to compete. Not only was the Cortina the first, it was the best, too; a fascinating, ever-evolving project, around which Ford-Europe's planning always revolved. This book gives all the facts, figures, images and legends of the Cortina story. With over 180 colour and black and white photos this is the fascinating story of an incredibly successful car.

It's been a long wait for what is a work of genuine quality ... No Ford enthusiast should be without it. Classic Car Weekly. A genuinely interesting tome, this is the definitive history of a classic-defining car. Over 180 photographs are complemented by facts and figures alongside captivating storytelling. A must-read. – Practical Classics.
