1967 was the Mark II Cortina's breakthrough year. It became Britain's most popular new car, the goal Ford had pursued since 1962, ending BMC's 1100 and 1300 run at the top. A four door estate reached the UK market on 15 February, the 1500 cc engines were dropped in July for a new engine and the 1300 received a crossflow head in August. The luxurious 1600E, with a burr walnut dashboard, appeared at the Paris Motor Show in October.
