Ford Lotus Cortina MK1 1966 GENUINE UK CAR !!!

Lots of history - a small amount pictured. Was owned in the 80s by a LCR member and has been inspected by the LCR and confirmed to be an original car with matching engine number too
The car has had its metal work done professionally by a well known Mk1 Lotus restorer, so no problems here 
What you see in the pictures and video is what you get, so please study them well :-)
The car has a one piece prop, which is how it came to me.
I do have a two piece prop that can be purchased separately, if wanted.
The interior was retrimmed in the 80s i am told
The previous MOT's lead you to believe it has done around 20k but it could be 120k - who knows? although it does look very good when I removed the rocker cover and has spent most of its live in storage 
The engine turns freely as it should
There is a new headlining included in the sale and i will find the rods before the end of the auction  
The car I am told was garaged in the early 70's for around 10 years as the owner was fed up of it being stolen 
It was recommissioned in the 80's by a LCR member and used for shows etc
The car was then taken off the road early 90's and stored in a garage, this was falling down when removed within the last 10 years.
I have spared no expense in having the metal work done, apart from a small scab on the ns door. The body is in very good condition 
This will make a really good rust free car for its new owner after painting and rebuilding 
You will not find an example of a Lotus Cortina in this condition with lots of history and matching engine number very easily 
The head has been changed, this shows on pics of the car in the 80's - probably due to freezing I am told 
I have owned the Lotus for around three years now and the v5 is in my name and it is currently taxed and insured 
You will not be able to put the car together in a weekend and most items will need to be refurbished
Good luck bidding - this is a great car not to be missed!
Sorry no PayPal on this item  

Please don't ask for a buy it now price as I don't have one - the auction will run to the end
