By the way - I wish my dad was still alive.
He would have loved that Electric Cortina vid.
He was a trained radio technician in the 1940's.
He was bemused by the Mk 1 Cortina.
The 4 cylinder engine had little torque (he loved big flywheels) but lotsa horsepower.
He didn't like the fact that the engine had to rev to get its power.
He put his Bradford 2 cylinder van in a back to back tow competition with a Mk 1.
He won.
Mum and I never heard the end of it.
