Ford introduced
the British Ford Cortina into Australia in 1962. The standard
version had a four cylinder 1198cc engine; a De Luxe model with a
1498cc engine and a GT with the larger engine and modified brakes
and suspension were released the following year. This was
followed by the Cortina Lotus which dominated rallying in the mid
and late sixties.
