In 1966 Ford launched its new Cortina Mk II. As with the original Cortina Mk I (1962-1966) the new Cortina range included standard, Super and GT variants along with a choice of engine and transmission types. The Cortina Mk II featured a new bodyshell which had angular lines and a full width grille not dissimilar to that of the Zephyr/Zodiac Mk IV.

Ford Cortina Mk II buyers could choose between either a 1300, (1297cc) or 1500 (1498cc) four cylinder engine and from 1968 a 1600 (1599cc) replaced the earlier 1500 unit. Front disc brakes were standard and all engines used a five bearing crankshaft for smoothness. The Cortina Mk II sold well in its four year production run and was eventually replaced in 1970 by the slightly larger Cortina Mk III.  Practical Classics Spring 2004 - Featuring Buyers Guide Ford Cortina Mk II 1966-1970.  Click Here to view in our shop.
