The iconic Lotus Cortina, one of the most celebrated British performance cars of the 1960s, continues to captivate classic car lovers around the world — and there’s a dedicated community keeping its legacy alive. The Lotus Cortina Register serves as the global hub for owners and enthusiasts of the Mark I, Mark II, and Crayford versions of this legendary vehicle.
A Club Built on Passion & Preservation
Founded in 1979, the Lotus Cortina Register brings together owners, restorers, and fans of the classic Lotus-tuned Ford Cortina. What started as a small group has grown into an international community united by a shared passion for one of the most influential performance saloons of its era.
The Lotus Cortina itself has deep motorsport roots. Originally developed in collaboration between Ford and Lotus in the early 1960s, it combined lightweight engineering with a spirited 1.6-litre twin-cam engine — a recipe that helped it dominate touring car racing in Britain and Europe.
