Tim Jacobs Mk1 Lotus Cortina is ready for its MOT. We’ve installed a new clutch, rear main seal, new clutch master and slave cylinders and the front brake calipers have been rebuilt by Past Parts. Our in-house Lotus Cortina expert Bob Woods Sprints and Hill Climbs his Mk1 Lotus Cortina to great success.
This Mk1 Lotus Cortina is in for an MOT, a service and some other issues. The car does very few miles and most issues are related to that. The clutch master and slave cylinders need to be replaced and the brake calipers are getting rebuilt due to stuck pistons. There is an intermittent spark on cylinder 1 so new plugs, distributor cap, rotor arm and HT leads are also getting fitted.
A pair of iconic classics in the workshop. The Dino 246 has been gaining in popularity now for a number of years and is undeniably a beautiful car. This one has had a fuel system service with fuel lines, tank and carburetors cleaned through. The Lotus Cortina has also gained a huge following in the last decade. This one has been unused for some years and is having some teething troubles, oil leaks, wheel bearings whining etc.
Local enthusiast David Long has left two of his classics with us for some work. The first is Jan Hardy’s Austin-Healey 3000. A loss a brake fluid was found to be the result of a tired braked servo cylinder. This has been re-sleaved and will be rebuilt and fitted to the car. This gorgeous Mk1 Lotus Cortina has developed an ignition issue and currently wont start.
David Long brought in his stunning Mk1 Lotus Cortina for a few small jobs. Rear wheel bearings are being replaced, the choke levers and cable have been replaced and we are rebuilding the brake servo. Beautiful car that should be in top form now.
