The Cortina was launched in 1962 a few weeks before the London Motor Show of October, with a 1198 cc three bearing engine that was an enlarged version of the 997 cc Anglia unit. Ford of Britain at Dagenham, chose rear wheel drive against the front wheel drive of the German Taunus P4, and the car was launched as the Consul Cortina before the Consul name was dropped. It was also assembled from 1962 at the Ford factory in Lower Hutt, New Zealand.
