MNC400082071 - Minichamps 1/43 Lotus Cortina MkI 1963 - White 

The Lotus Cortina MkI came out of a 1963 partnership between Ford and Colin Chapman’s Lotus. It took Ford’s humble two-door Cortina and turned it into a giant-killing sports saloon. Lotus fitted its 1.6 litre twin cam engine, lowered and stiffened the suspension, and used aluminium for the doors, bonnet and boot lid. Every car left the factory in Ermine White with a Sherwood Green side flash. On track, drivers like Jim Clark made it a legend, and Clark won the 1964 British Saloon Car Championship in one.
