A larger 1498 cc five bearing engine arrived with the Cortina Super in January 1963, and the car became available with 1500 cc engines. The five door estate version joined the two door and four door saloons in March 1963. Standard, Deluxe, Super and GT trims were offered, though not on every body style, and the saloons carried large round Ban the Bomb taillight clusters that became a signature of the first generation.
