Under Construction
This section provides a list of publications / dates of all road tests and articles written concerning the Lotus Cortina.
Some of these are contained in the Brooklands re-print publications, but where they are not, I will try and put a pdf copy online for reading.
This is new on 29th Jan 2011, so will be refined and updated over the next few months.
