There once was a time when Cortinas were everywhere. Your dad had one, your uncle had one, your mate’s dad had one – you couldn’t turn a street corner without being met with the best-selling car of the 70s.
Five generations and 4.3million cars later, production finally ended in 1982 – but the British love affair with the Cortina still hasn’t gone away.
We’ve been exploring the history and cult status of the Cortina to find out just what has made it such an icon.
You can read our article over on the new Cult Classics website, along with articles about some of our other favourites from years gone by:
