Lotus Cortina Mk2 1968

Description:

Lotus Cortina Mk2 series 1 Oct 1968

I still have the original V5

This was my road car that I adapted for the track as I have had this for over 46 yrs. First raced in 2006 up until 2019.

Mechanically it is sound and the bodywork is good but it is a race car.

I have tried lightening most parts, fibreglass bonnet and front wings, perspex windows all round except the front laminated screen, aluminium fuel tank (2 sizes depending on the race length), Minilite wheels (also a spare set)

It has all the usual mods to race, steel crank, balanced and lightened pistons, big valve head, QED race cams, twin 45's webers, H&H electronic ignition, race alternator, lightened flywheel, twin sintered clutch plates, hydraulic clutch on first motion shaft.

2000E Gearbox has straight cut gears, aluminium bell housing & tail shaft, the centre section is magnesium, short shift gear lever. Single prop shaft.

Rear axle LSD 3.9 aluminium diff casing, Quaife half shafts.

Brakes Front - Wilwood twin pot on vented discs - Rear standard 7" drums. The brakes are a dual line system, the fronts are separate from the rear with brake biasing adjustable behind the brake pedal.

Suspension adjustable damping all round, single leaf springs at the rear.

Large aluminium radiator with built in oil cooler, electric cooling fan.

As a lockdown project I reinstated the heater after a full overhaul expecting to use on track days, but this could easily be removed.
