Introduced in 1962, the new Cortina was a family sized car for 'the people'
The 1200 Deluxe was not much more expensive that the standard car and effectively became the 'entry' model
Powered by a 1, 198cc, OHV, four-cylinder producing a modest 49bhp mated to a 4-speed column-change gearbox
This example is finished in Spruce Green with a white roof and a light green vinyl interior
Incredibly, just two keepers from new with the first holding onto the car for 53 years
Showing just 30, 123 miles on the odometer which is believed to be correct
A true survivor with a small history file, it has clearly had some paint work but is largely untouched
Entered without Reserve, this should get Blue Oval fans excited
