Last Lotus Cortina Mk 1 ever?

[Brian Elkington]

I may have owned the last one ever built:

Around 1970 I bought RNO 713D ( I think)

paid £300 for from an architect who lived on Canvey Island. He ordered one too late but his father in law was management at Dagenham and he put the order through taking an export body shell.

had it 12 months sold for £360...!!

where is it now I wonder?

I sold my Mk 1 Lotus Cortina in the early 70’s for not much more than yours. Makes me weep every time I think of what it’d be worth now.
