Fully restored in 2002 and recently refreshed this is a delightful example of a rare model.Sold directly to Switzerland in 1966 returning to the UK in 2016Nut and bolt restoration in France by Cedric Masier around 2002Lotus Cortina aluminium 4-speed, close-ratio box with Quaife internalsLotus Cortina struts and dampers optimised for fast road use, Brembo discs, Girling pistons and Pagid fast-road padsGT pre-X-Flow with a big valve head, blueprinted, lightened and balanced with a Kent 244 cam fuelled by twin 45 Webers. Originally built by Burton RacingFull engine strip, inspection, and rebuild including a new Kent 244 cam and followers by Coltec (22-12-2014 - £1,606)Period-style bucket seats, Moto-Lita, Brantz International Pro-2 Digital rally clock, Terratrip intercom with headsetsMassive history file (workshop manuals, vehicle manuals, technical articles)Prepared for road rallies, stage rallies, regularity runs or just chasing other Cortinas about on an Owner’s Club day out, this could be an ideal entry into the gently competitive word of classic rallying.Ford’s Cortina was a mid-sized family car launched in 1963, designed to fill a gap between the smaller Anglia and executive Zephyr/Zodiac models. With its lightweight shell and decent handling, Ford’s engineers soon realised that the Cortina had genuine potential as a performance model and thus created the GT, by adding a Cosworth-tuned 1.5-litre version of the Kent four-cylinder engine, upgrading the transmission, brakes and suspension, installing a rev-counter to the steering column and extra dials in the centre console. The Cortina GT was soon selling in huge numbers as few cars could match its 95mph top speed or willing acceleration, at such an affordable price. Cortina GTs were homologated by Ford for rallying and notched up numerous wins in the mid-1960s, while the more potent Lotus version was developed for circuit racing.This delightful 1966 Cortina GT is a four-door example, finished in left-hand drive and exported to Switzerland where it has spent most of its life. It returned to the UK in 2016 and the registration number, UCA 487D was awarded by the DVLA in September of that year.There is a significant amount of history with UCA and naturally, most of that is in French or German, but we can see from the invoices that the car has been subject to a total nut and bolt restoration in France by Cedric Masier and Patrick Hugo around 2002 utilising “Genuine Ford Motorsport Period Upgrades”. It was rebuilt with a Lotus Cortina aluminium 4-speed, close-ratio box with Quaife internals (1-2.5, 2-1.66, 3-1.22, 4-1.1. Limited slip differential 3.9-1). It’s been set up with Lotus Cortina struts and dampers optimised for fast road use, Brembo discs, Girling pistons and Pagid fast-road pads.The engine is a GT pre-X-Flow with a big valve head, blueprinted, lightened and balanced with a Kent 244 cam fuelled by twin 45 Webers. Originally built by Burton Racing, there is an invoice in the file from Coltec Racing dated 22-12-2014 totalling £1,606 relating to a full engine strip, inspection, and rebuild including a new Kent 244 cam and followers and a repaint of the block in Holbay Green. It’s fitted with a competition clutch and a Race Stainless Steel exhaust (since changed).The interior was renewed back in 2012 and remains very smart with twin period-style bucket seats, Moto-Lita steering wheel, Brantz International Pro-2 Digital rally clock with remote, map light and Terratrip intercom with headsets. The GT continues to present really well in Ermine White with a distinctive Forest Green triple stripe and door roundels and the coachwork appears exceptionally straight remaining very tidy underneath. This is a good-looking period Rally Car and it’s classic appearance is enhanced by the silver alloys, Speedwell wing mirrors and four PIAA rally-spec front lights. We understand that the car has been enjoyed in light competition throughout Europe and even on the hugely challenging Monte Carlo Rallye and the Winter Raid it proved totally reliable.UCA was purchased by our vendor on 2/03/2019 and he informs us that during his ownership “I changed the silencer to make it less loud, changed the crown wheel and pinion from the 4.7 to a more roadworthy 3,9, fitted a new lightweight starter motor, renewed the interior carpet and soundproofing, changed the wheel studs so that it could take the Minilite wheels, fitted 5 new Revolution Minilites with new Toyo tyres, renewed the steering idler arm and associated bushes, and finally took it to a specialist to balance the twin Weber carbs.”Included in the large history files are technical articles, workshop manuals, vehicle manuals, the original ‘Carnet de Service’, magazine articles featuring this motor car, acres of invoices, the UK V5 registration document and much more. It's also supplied with six original steel rims with snow tyres.This not a weary, rally-rashed, Forest Ford but a delightfully presented Sixties sporting saloon that appears to have been cared for during its fifty years in Switzerland and certainly since it returned here in 2016. Only 59 Mk1 GTs are believed to be still current in the UK, and very few will be left-hand drive with four-doors, so this is a rare car in its own right. Prepared for road rallies, stage rallies, regularity runs or just chasing other Cortinas about on an Owner’s Club day out, this could be an ideal entry into the gently competitive word of classic rallying.SpecificationMake: FORDModel: CORTINAYear: 1966Chassis Number: BA78FU70443Transmission: ManualEngine Number: 120E-6015Make: Interior Colour: BlackClick here for more details and images

An important part of, not only Motorsport History, but British Post-War Social History.John Heath and George Abecassis evolved a modified version of their successful 1949 HW-Alta design for the 1950 seasonA prototype and four team cars were to have been built, Team drivers were to be Abecassis, Heath and Stirling MossIn the event, only 3 cars and a prototype were built, FB IOI, 102, 103 and 104Built officially by HW Motors they were known as 'HWM's, a name that is synonymous with Britain's first post-war steps into the world of Grand PrixOffered by Silverstone Auctions is the first of the four works cars that has an incredible race history in 1950 raced by Moss, John Heath, Lance Macklin, George Abecassis and Rudi Fischer In all, it raced in fifteen events across Europe including Reims, Grand Prix de Bern and Grand Premio De Bari In October 1950, Stirling gave it its swansong win at Castle Combe before being sold to Oscar Moore in 1951Now road registered, XMC 34, it was purchased by our vendor in 1965 and enjoyed a further lease of life usually driven by some fast ladies at Midland hill climb eventsThis is an important car and we suggest you read the full description on our websiteThe significance of HWM to British motor racing history has been widely overlooked yet John Heath’s foray into the European racing scene with his private team of three Formula Two HWMs in 1950 marked the first post-war attack on International racing by a full team of British cars and effectively put Britain back on the motor racing map. Despite a shoestring budget and daunting physical, financial and logistical problems, John Heath’s enterprising little Ecurie raced at nineteen British and Continental meetings during 1950 with creditable success. In so doing they brought immeasurable prestige to Britain across a Continent still recovering from the ravages of war. Perhaps even more important to Britain’s future prestige in motor racing, during that I950 season the perspicacious Heath and partner George Abecassis gave the first chance of big time motor racing to a confident twenty-year-old rising star. His name was Stirling Moss.For the 1949 season, Heath decided that the team should design and build a car of their own for Formula Two and sports car racing. This dual-purpose car used a 2-litre Alta engine in a twin-tube chassis with wishbone front suspension, a transverse leaf spring, Standard 12 uprights, a Citroen steering rack (HW Motors were Citroen dealers), an ENV pre-selector gearbox and a live rear axle. This HW-Alta proved a great success, with viceless handling and took Heath to victory in the 70-mile 1949 BRDC Race in the IoM and a close second to Possi’s Delahaye in the GP de l’ACF, run for sports cars, at Comminges.Encouraged by this success, Heath and Abecassis evolved a modified version of the HW-Alta design for the 1950 season as the nucleus of a three car team. The offer of an entry at Le Mans encouraged the adoption of the dual-purpose design (a rear-engined F2 car had been contemplated), but when it was discovered that only prize-money was on offer, the Sarthe entry was dropped and the cars ran as open-wheel single-seaters throughout 1950. Team drivers were to be Abecassis, Heath and Moss (Peter Clark, Nick Haines and Johnnie Claes were to have been second drivers at Le Mans). A prototype and four team cars were to have been built, the fourth to have been a spare. In the event, Heath, Alf Francis and their small team of Tom O’Hara and Rex Woodgate, with Jack Tolly as a part-time welder, built only four cars, including the prototype, though it seems that an additional chassis may have been laid down but not completed. They were given chassis and engine numbers FB IOI, 102, 103 and 104, FB being Geoffrey Taylor’s prefix for Formula B Alta engines, FB the forerunner of F2. The first three numbers related to the cars intended for the team and, perversely, the prototype seems to have been given the last number. Presumably it was built without a number and given 104 for carnet purposes after the others had been allocated. It had been intended to sell the prototype to Baring, a locally based privateer. In fact Baring bought the brand-new 103 and the prototype was taken on to the team strength with 101 and 102. These new machines from HW Motors were given the name “HWM”.With confidence high and a great design, they famously gave breaks to young drivers of potential with the late Sir Stirling Moss being effectively offered his first works drive debuting at Goodwood at the Easter Meeting in April finishing 2nd in the Easter Handicap.Offered by Silverstone Auctions is the first of the four works cars that has an incredible race history in 1950 raced by Moss, John Heath, Lance Macklin, George Abecassis and Rudi Fischer. In all, it raced in fifteen events across Europe including Reims, Grand Prix de Bern and Grand Premio De Bari. In October 1950, Stirling gave it its swansong win at Castle Combe before being sold to Oscar Moore in 1951 who continued to race it with great success and even registered it for the road with the North London registration of XMC 34. It was purchased by our vendor in 1965 and enjoyed a further lease of life usually driven by some fast ladies at Midland hill climb events.Going back to 1950, only two cars were finished for the Easter Monday Goodwood event and HWM allowed privateer Alistair ‘Buster’ Baring to drive one to keep him sweet as he had the fourth built car earmarked for him. Stirling finished sixth in the Chichester Cup Formula Libre race and second in the Easter Handicap. A third car was ready for Roubaix in early May and Baring would get his own car a week later for Mons when finally all four works cars ran. They all had minor bodywork differences and the car offered here is 1950/A – the prototype. It was to be shared between George Abecassis (seven races) and John Heath (five races/ fourth place at Reims) Lance Macklin (four times, third at Mettet) and Sir Stirling Moss twice (first and third at Castle Combe). The result sheets show that, remarkably, the works HWMs were only second best to the likes of Alberto Ascari in the Ferrari and the works Alfas of Farina and Fangio.To help finance the 1951 season, the three works cars were sold off having been equipped with mudguards and lights to make them more saleable. In 1951 our car, last driven by Moss, was sold to privateer racer Oscar Moore of North London who registered it for the road and fitted a Jaguar 3.4 engine from an XK120 but enlarged to 3781 cc. He often liked to say he beat Coventry to it! This was the first HWM Jaguar and was very competitive from the outset capable of beating C-Types on twisty circuits. It was eventually sold to Plymouth motor trader, Gerry Scali, before turning up with London trader Danny Margulies who had handled the sale of the fabulous HWM Streamliner. It was purchased by our vendor, Terry Grainger, a well known Worcestershire architect and cricketer in 1965 and some fifty five years later he still owns it. At some point the bodywork had seen better days and Oldbury Wing and Panels Ltd. were tasked with carefully copying the original body. Over the past half century it has competed with great distinction at various hill-climbs driven by Georgina Baillie-Hill, Davina Galica and Gillian Goldsmith.This incredible piece of British motorsport history can trace its origins to those charismatic ‘Garagiste’ at HWM who took on 1950s Grand Prix legendsClick here for more details and images
