Ford Cortina Mk I Testing - 1962

This 1962 film shows the brand new #Ford #Cortina Mark I - “a small #car with a big difference“ - being tested at the British Army’s Fighting #Vehicles #Test Ground. The statistics reveal the car to have an acceleration of 0-60 MPH in a mighty 25 seconds. The eagle-eyed among you will spot that the car is badged “Consul 225“, a name that never made it on to a production model.
