Meet the king of Lotus Cortinas - an incredible secret collection of classic Ford Twin Cams well worthy of a Car Cave special episode. Make no mistake, Andy Morrell is a sucker for twin cam Cortinas. He owns one example of every Lotus Cortina ever made. Not only that, but he has constructed a purpose-built Lotus Cortina garage shrine at the end of his garden. He has parts galore stashed, a pair of four poster ramps, and mk1s down the left hand side. On the right sits his mk2 Cortinas. In the middle is a spookily low mileage Orion 1600E next to a crashed yellow mk1 Lotus Cortina Crayford… But that’s a story for another video… our next video in fact.

Thanks for stopping by The Late Brake Show. Subscribed yet?

Jonny used this film day as a chance to learn. He wasn't sure on the differences between each Lotus Cortina - especially the early mk1s compared to the later mk1s. Andy bought his first Lotus Cortina in the late 1980s and tends to hang on to numerous cars longterm.

A huge thanks to Simon Hurr from Ford for introducing Jonny to Andy, and being instrumental in arranging access to this glorious garage.
