Cortina - The Story of Ford's Best-Seller

In the 1960s the Cortina was an entirely new type of British car - light yet strong, cheap to buy, and yet roomy. It established a new class of car - the 'Cortina Class' - and Ford's rivals had to rush to compete.
Not only was the Cortina the first, it was the best, too; a fascinating, ever-evolving project, around which Ford-Europe's planning always revolved.
