EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photograph taken in 1972, we are transported back to a bustling garage where two iconic Ford Cortinas, the Mk 2 and Mk3 GT, are being serviced and modified. These British classics were known for their sleek design and powerful performance during the late 1960s and early 1970s. The Ford Cortina Mk 2 was produced between 1966-1970, with one of its most memorable versions being the 1600E launched in 1968. It offered various trims including base, Deluxe, Super, GT, and later the sought-after 1600E trim. The Mk3 followed from 1970-1976 and gained popularity among fleet buyers due to its reliability. However, rust problems that plagued cars from this era have made surviving examples rare today. Among them, the coveted Mk1 600E remains highly sought after by collectors worldwide. Photographer Michael Walters captures an intimate moment inside this industrial setting as mechanics work diligently on these beloved vehicles. This image is a testament to both the craftsmanship of these classic cars and the skilled professionals who dedicated themselves to maintaining them. As we admire this snapshot frozen in time, it serves as a reminder of our automotive heritage - a time when cars were more than just transportation; they represented freedom on wheels and captured our imaginations with their power and beauty.
