Summary
This exceptionally important 1963 Ford Lotus Cortina MK I is the very first 'Works' Cortina raced, boasting an impressive early competition history with legendary drivers like Jim Clark, Jack Sears, Dan Gurney, and Sir John Whitmore. Discovered in derelict condition in the 1980s, it underwent a full restoration to FIA Appendix K specification and has since seen competition use, including at the Goodwood Revival. Owned by notable figures such as musician Chris Rea, this well-documented vehicle is eligible for prestigious historic race meets.

P_1 The Swiss import taxes have been fully paid but the car was not road registered in Switzerland.
MDS_ I assume the road registration is in Switzerland?
