The second incarnation of the Cortina was designed by Roy Haynes, and launched on 18 October 1966, for years after the introduction of the original Cortina. Slightly shorter than the outgoing model, but wider and with more interior space. By 1967 had established itself as Britains most popular new car.

 

The four-door Cortina 1600E (E = Executive), is a higher trim version, was introduced at the Paris Motor Show in October 1967 a year after the arrival of the Cortina Mark II. It combined the lowered suspension of the Cortina Lotus with the high-tune GT 1600 Kent engine and luxury trim featuring a burr walnut woodgrain-trimmed dashboard and door cappings, bucket seating, leather-clad aluminium sports steering wheel, and full instrumentation inside, while a black grille, tail panel, front fog lights, and plated Rostyle wheels on radial tyres featured outside
