This 1:43 Ford Cortina model car is a perfect replica of the original, in its unusual shade of Terracotta Red. This die-cast model is a limited edition of 1,400. The first car of CORGI researcher, Mark Pinnigar, has finally made it into die-cast! Dennis Nelson from New Eltham, London, purchased the four-speed manual Mk5 Ford Cortina modelled from new in 1980. He ordered it in Terracotta with a Peat Crushed Velour fabric interior. He retained the car until December 1988, then sold it for £650 to his 17-year-old nephew, Mark Pinnigar, who lived in the same area as his uncle and bought it within days of passing his driving k. A range of 1:43 scale model cars that span the decades, each car has been meticulously researched to bring the most accurate replicas including the backstory, livery and special features.
