Seriously....

How beautiful is this?!! Wow....

And a BuyItNow at $21K seems pretty reasonable.

Almost an affordable investment...

Buy it now is over, it's at $17k, but the reserve is met.

I didn't realize you were into this sort of car, Eric. I hardly find anyone who knows what they are!

The item description says it best when it mentions the car will lift the inside front wheel just like Jim Clark and Sir Stirling Moss used to do...

Last month there was a Giulietta GT built up to look like a GTA - it was equally perfect although not as much of an investment since it wasn't original like this one is. It sold for $10000.

one Question, Why?

Hmm, stunning car I agree, but still underpowered when you compare it to something like a Z. I would still love to own one, but if I was going to get a Tina, I would go all out and get the GT500 spec .

one Question, Why?

If you have to ask, you wouldn't understand. (And you're probably a whole lot younger than I am. :sigh: )

Hell yeah! Gorgeous, just gorgeous. My Finance teacher at Uni had a GT500 in excellent condition, he used to park it next to me My uncle has owned many cars, but to this day he always remembers most fondly his Lotus Escort- quite different I know but still relevant.

Someone should have used the buy-it-now. Surely it's worth more than that?

These cars are a peice of motoring history back here in England,my freinds car has just been valued at 22k,its a 1964,never been restored,as for performance they are not to far behind a standard Zed,the MK11 lotus cortina is a better car, a bit slower,then there is the Mk11 savage fitted with a 3 litre v6 some have a 3.1 rs,quick in its day

Theres a mark 1 cortina 2 door rusting away to oblivion around the corner from me. Wouldnt be a lotus engined one, but it would look identical with some tlc. I'll take a piccy of it if anyone wants to see it.

I once owned a 67 MKII back in the day. Ironically, my wife also owned a Cortina long before I met her.
