This is a fourth-generation Cortina. An excellent example offered by it’s second owner who purchased the vehicle from a Ford dealership in Essex. England approximately 8 years ago. The Dagenham built Cortina Mark IV's went on sale September 29 . 1976. Equipped with the 2. 0 Pinto engine which was always the most popular option for Ghia models and mated to the four speed transmission. it provides the desired combination of performance and economy. Since it’s arrival in the U.

An excellent. original time capsule which is rapidly becoming highly collectible and worthy of any collection.
