The Mk2 Cortina Lotus was not only more reliable than the original classic but troublesome Mk1, but it was also available in left hand drive and had a more powerful engine. This meticulously maintained Mk2 example was first raced by its current owner in July 1992 at Seattle International Raceway (now Pacific Raceways). Its racing history includes 94(!) vintage events at tracks such as, Seattle, Portland International Raceway (PIR), Bremerton, Spokane, Reno, Thunderhill, Sears Point (Sonoma), Laguna Seca, Buttonwillow, Lime Rock, Watkins Glen, Road America/Elkhart Lake, and of course Mission (shown above), where it has been a regular performer the last few seasons.

The powertrain features all steel crankshaft and twin camshafts, a stainless steel exhaust system, a pre-start engine oiling system and low oil pressure warning light, a switch for operating the cooling fan with the engine off, a four-speed Quaife close-ratio transmission and a limited slip differential. The body has a full interior that has been supplemented for racing with a roll bar, a racing seat, a five-point safety harness, a fuel cell (race gas only), a Halon fire suppression system, plus period-correct Smith speedometer and tach.

The most recent performance tuning was done in late 2020. Although this Cortina Lotus is a very competitive Vintage racing car, it is also fully street-legal and registered.
