Ford didn’t spend too much on advertising the new Mk 2 Lotus Cortina, and the only adverts I have were from the launch.<\/p>\n

Pirelli had some budget to associate their tyres with the car<\/p>\n

Ford pushed the boat out with the launch brochure which was, I believe, the only single model brochure produced for the Mk 2 Lotus Cortina<\/p>\n

Shortly after\u00a0the launch, a brochure titled ‘High Performance From Ford’<\/em> came out, which covered the Lotus Cortina, the Cortina GT and the Corsair 2 litre, a very similar style to the Mk 1 ‘High Performance’<\/em> brochure. \u00a0The pictures for the Lotus Cortina look similar to those used for the launch brochure, but are quite different, and now the car has a registation number.<\/p>\n

This rare brochure was created from a write up in Motoring News.<\/p>\n

After this brochure, the Lotus Cortina was a one page spread in the brochure for all Cortinas.<\/p>\n

And for Portugal a sort of 60s Photoshop was used…reversed and lightened image of the UK brochure<\/p>\n

Alan has kindly supplied several European brochures for the 1969\/70 model. and I got a surprise. Not only is the car now refered to at the Cortina Twincam, as per the Escort, but it has Rostyles and a pinstripe as standard.<\/p>\n
