Cortina Ogle GT

Ivo do Val Gil

Buda de Bucelas
Este modelo, tendo como base o Ford Cortina MKI, foi desenhado pela Ogle Design Organisation, para satisfazer o desejo pessoal de Stirling Moss em ter um GT de 4 lugares.


Stirling Moss specification required a balanced relationship between performance-comfort- economy - and a reasonable purchase price. It was important to him that his car should be based on a proven production car, for which service was freely available. He sought motorway performance - but not at the expense of fast car fuel consumption; above all he specified a car to carry four people comfortably, confidently, on 500 miles a day journeys with all the luggage they would need. The Cortina/Ogle GT Replica meets these requirements and more. In addition - coachwork, cellulosing and trimming are executed to high standards by world renowned coachbuilders, Harold Radford. Every item of equipment incorporated has been tested in use by Stirling Moss. The brilliant engineering and stamina of the Ford Cortina GT has been proved in races and rallies in three continents and the car carries Ford warranty and is backed by Ford service.

Não conhecia, não sei se é de estar habituado a ver a versão ''normal'' mas prefiro-a a qualquer destas duas :D

Parabens, obrigado pela iniciativa e pela partilha de modelos raros e que não são do conhecimento comum :feliz:
 
O "patinho feio" do modelo, a gama Standard, também conheçido como "ironbar".
Como a diferença de preço para o Deluxe era praticamente nula, ninguém os comprava. Também por essa razão, estão hoje em dia muito mais valorizados que os mesmos Deluxe.
