Vehicle Description
This never raced & fully restored Lotus Cortina has called the Bay
Area home since it was new. It still wears the blue CA personalized
license plates.
The current owner purchased the car in 1988 from the Freedom, CA
near Capitola. It has only covered 2500 miles since. A complete
restoration was completed in 2017. The car has covered a little
under 400 miles since completion. The paint and interior look as
new. All chrome and trim has been show plated and any external trim
that could be replaced was upgraded to stainless. The motor was
rebuilt once in 1988 and again by local Ferrari expert, Dino Motors
who finished it in 2017. It currently has under 400 miles since
rebuild. Dino also rebuilt the gearbox. The entire suspension was
disassembled and refreshed as well as brakes, all rubber lines and
bushings. The differential has been upgraded to a Salisbury type
with a 3.70:1 gear ratio. The owner has added a spare wheel/tire
and tool kit.
This is a very rare car, being LHD from the factory and never
raced. There are not too many left with this history
Sale includes a history file with documentation of the cars history
since the 80s including restration receipts, photos, older
registration cards and a bill of sale
