76SET84 Oxford Diecast Ford Cortina Set - Pack of 3

This set takes a nostalgic look at the key moments in Cortina history which lasted over two decades from 1962 during which time it changed the face of British motoring. Overall sales during that period comprised almost 4.25 million and it was the market leader during all that time.

76COR1003 Ford Cortina MkI – Goodwood Green represents the first era of the Cortina introduced in 1962. Our model is an authentic replica of the real thing, registered 7005 UK.  Note the distinctive radiator grille masked silver and black and notice too, the Ford Cortina badge printed in silver on the offside of the boot. The Mkl went on to sell over a million models. 

76COR2008   Ford Cortina MkII in Ermine White and Sherwood Green

The MkII launched the Cortina into the world of motor sport. Branded as the Lotus, the MkII Cortina featured the Lotus badge on the rear wing as well as the Twin Cam badge fitted under the Cortina lettering on the boot lid. A distinctive green stripe ran along the waist and round the back. Also new, the Cortina MkII featured a revised front grille. Our model carries all these physical features and comes with a black interior, registered UAH 861G from 1968-69.

 76COR3003 Ford Cortina MkIII – Sebring Red takes the Cortina timeline into the 1970s appearing in a fiery orange red with black interior and registered RKW 359N from 1975/76.  The radiator grille and wheels are silver and a special detail sees the rear headlights in red and orange. Introduced in 1970, the four-door MkIII was very different from its predecessors. It had a longer wheelbase giving more interior room, it was 2” wider and 4” lower. It was the first collaboration between Ford of Great Britain and Ford Germany and although much was new, the car had retained the ‘Kent’ engine and the gearbox from the MkII. The new  ‘coke bottle’ shape also appealed to the US market. The Cortina was the flagship of the Ford enterprise and rightly so.
