1967 Ford Cortina | Crawley, West Sussex

A 1967 Ford Cortina from the Mk II generation, the roomy British family car that became the country's best-selling new car in 1967. Its body is wider than the first Cortina's, with gently curved sides, and the model is liked for plain mid-sixties lines and an easy, unfussy character. This car is Blue with a Blue interior, a matching scheme that reads cleanly in photographs. It has a 1.5-litre engine, seats four and is in good condition. The uncluttered styling makes it a believable everyday car of its day. For period film and television, advertising and photography, it puts a convincing 1960s family car in shot, and the single colour is simple to place in a frame. Fashion and editorial shoots, music videos and events can use it as a modest, period backdrop. Weddings and personal hires are open to it too. It is based in Crawley, West Sussex.
