The (new) picture is in fact a Mark 2, not a Mark 4... GRAHAMUK 08:25, 11 Oct 2003 (UTC)
- You are right, of course. A strange error since I owned a Mark 2 for 3 years and a Mark 4 for 3 years! Thanks for spotting it.

[edit] Predecessor?
Other articles about Fords seem to suggest that this was a direct replacement for the Prefect, and that the Consul Classic was actually replaced by the Corsair, which was then somewhat succeeded by the Cortina Mk III which was larger than previous Cortinas. I wasn't around at the time, so I don't know for sure. Like I said, I'm just going by other wikipedia articles that I've read.
It was a replacement for the OHV Anglia.203.39.81.92 (talk) 09:12, 22 November 2007 (UTC)
[edit] firing order
currently looking for the firing order of a 1971 ford bob cat It has a 1.6 cortina motor.
[edit] Car Ebayed?
The car featured on the show Life on Mars wasn't sold on Ebay, but actually given away in a Daily Mail competetion
[edit] Medium or Large?
I see somebody has made an edit to the intro changing "medium sized family car" to "large family car". This is now inconsistent since the intro goes on to say "The Cortina was Ford's mass-market midsize car". But on the other hand in the timeline at the bottom the Cortina is in the 'large family car' section. So which is right? pm215 10:09, 25 May 2007 (UTC)
It was a large car in the UK and a medium sized car in Australia and South Africa. 203.39.81.92 (talk) 09:12, 22 November 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Pinto
The TC Cortina (Mk III) is a sister car to the Ford Pinto. The engine was designed in the USA, as was most of the car. Source : a book called "Ford Cortina --something-- (?)". 203.39.81.92 (talk) 09:12, 22 November 2007 (UTC)
