Les véhicules de collection, ou comment l'imperfection rend amoureux

The Ford Consul-Cortina was launched in October 1962 as a two-door saloon and, compared with the £675 retail price of the Morris 1100, the base model retailed for a mere £639. The interior might not have been especially luxurious but any Cortina looked like a "proper car" from its long bonnet to its vast 20 cu ft boot. The Ford may have lacked the 1100's inherent sophistication but it was the same size as the more expensive Hillman Superminx and Austin A60 Cambridge and, thanks to a body designed on aviation principles, far lighter. It also boasted surprisingly entertaining road manners and for those customers prepared to endure minor drawbacks such as a dynamo that dimmed the headlamps when the wipers were turned on, the Consul-Cortina was a very desirable car. And for only £25 there was the De Luxe model with its decadent second sun visor.

Ford also constantly developed the Cortina, quickly arriving at the conclusion that the nation's commercial travellers were overworking the 1.2-litre engine and so they deserved the Consul-Classic's 1,500cc in their Cortina Super (cigarette lighter as standard).
