I'm aware that there are a few fans of the Lotus Cortina on here so I thought you all might like to know that there will be a display and tribute to 50 years of the MK1 Lotus Cortina at the Muscle Car Masters, at Sydney Motorsport Park on September 1st this year.

As most of you already know the Lotus Cortina was a very successful car in the 60's & is well documented in some of the great photos on this website.

So to Celebrate there have been 11 genuine Lotus Cortina's confirmed for display & of those cars there will be couple of cars attending with period racing pedigree

The ex Norm Watts car, raced in Victoria circa 1967
