The car offered here is from the collection of BP Classics. The following information was made available by the seller.

Lotus Cortina MKII with Lucas mechanical fuel injection. After the great success of the Lotus Cortina MKI, Ford introduced the Lotus Cortina MKII in 1967. In Europe, it was marketed under the name Ford Cortina Twin Cam. Like its predecessor, it was equipped with the famous Lotus 1600 Twin Cam engine, which from then on had 4 HP more power. The 2nd series was constructed differently from its predecessor at Ford and could be ordered in all existing Ford colors. Nevertheless, 80% of this series was ordered and delivered in the color Ermine White.

This car is an early original Ford Lotus Cortina MKII series 1, built in 1967 and delivered to Sweden on July 2, 1967, making it one of the rare original left-hand drive export models. A total of only 622 examples were built in LHD and this one also has an odometer instead of a mileometer.
