The Ford Cortina savage was produced by Jeff Urens, Race Proved Performance of Hanwell, West London.
The Savage I was created in November 1966as Britains first V6 compact, powered by a 144bhp 3 litre Ford Essex V6, race proven and road legal the car was advertised as having superb road holding aided by Goodyear G800s, ease of maintainance with spares galore, and priced at £ 1365 ex works.
In May 1967 the Savage II became available, again based on the Mark II Cortina (1600E), the Savage II offered additional De luxe specification, on 5.5 inch chromed wheels, with polished wood trim, pile carpet (black), fully reclining bucket seats, special sound insulation, and dual tone horns and reversing lights, priced at £ 1470

This car is a genuine Jeff Uren Savage, supplied new in 1969 and has been pwned by Alan Monkley since 1972, its original 3 litre engine has been restroked and rebuilt by Rick Wood to an increased capacitity of 3400cc.
Jeff Uren managed the Willment race team, which fielded Ford Falcons, Galaxies, Cobras, GT40s and, most famously, the humble Cortina Mk1. When John Willment gave up racing, Jeff set up Race Proved Ltd as his own company. The first car to have the Savage treatment (ie dropping in a Ford 3.0 L Essex V6 engine) was the Mk2 Cortina, this then progressed to Mk3s /Mk4s and even a one off Mk5 Cortina. Race Proved then linked up with Weslake Engineering who did most of the engine tuning for Jeff Uren. The customers had various tuning choices; the standard Ford Capri-spec 3.0 L engine with 138 bhp and 182 ft-lbs of torque, the 170, 180, 190 and the mighty 210 bhp Tecalemit fuel-injected version..
