CL-Lotus Ford Cortina Mk1 1966 rare race car project - $45 (NV)

[stanchfi]

Recent barn find
Rare British racing heritage type car

1966 Ford LOTUS Cortina

These were made from 1963 -1966

They only built around 3200 and there are believed to be around 1100 left

Most were right hand drive but some were the rarer left hand drive cars

These were famous for winning many races including the Indianapolis 500.

Clean title in my name
The motor is free and not locked
Comes with two boxes of parts. Also included or original books hubcaps
Only thing missing is the original gear knob shifter. Apart from that, it’s all original and complete rare barn find.
I looked and saw a car similar to this in shiny condition
recently sold on BAT for almost $90,000!!
I am looking for offers in the region of half that
Serious enquiries only please. Might consider partial cash trade for an air cooled Porsche 911/912

Car is located in Las Vegas Nevada

Lotus did win at Indy, but not in a Cortina, IMHO.
