Woodley cortinaman 1 Posted November 22, 2016 Hi guys, is there a way of tell img if my mk2 Cortina is a series 1 or series 2. It was built in September 1968. I've translated my vin plate details but it still doesn't give me the series number. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

teletubby 7 Posted November 23, 2016 Gear lever and front grille are different, series 1 has a longer gear lever, a bit like on a Mark 1, series 2 a short one, similar to an Escort/Mark 3/4/5/Capri The grille on a series 1 is all chrome, on the series 2 part of it is picked out in black, although the 1600E/Lotus use the same one on both which was mostly black Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Woodley cortinaman 1 Posted November 23, 2016 Thanks all, my car has got the longer gearstick and it has no fuse box so I take it it's a series 1 many thanks for your help. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Matt cortina 1 Posted December 24, 2016 Hi, just out of interest- what's the difference between a delux and super-delux? I believe mine is a 1967 super delux 2-door Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Have to see what it says on v5 IT MIGHT NOT SAY EITHER ON THE v5 the VIN will tell us what model it is first 2 letters tell you where it was built - normaly BA for Dagenham next 2 numbers tell you what model including 2 or 4 door.

teletubby 7 Posted December 24, 2016 The super version had a bit of extra chrome, round the arches and across the back panel Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
