The Classic Cortina Car Club started in the mid 1980’s with a small group of Cortina enthusiasts in Christchurch.
The Club wanted to promote, Lotus, 1600E, GT, GTE in the MK1 & MK2 only as they were seen as the more desirable car to collect.              
As time went on and the Classic Cortina Club name became a regular feature at the car shows in Canterbury and other places around the country. The membership slowly grew in numbers and the Club eventually included MK3, 4 & 5 models.

Now it is 2009 and there has been a small band of Club members, who over the years have steered the Classic Cortina Club into the role of helping members and non-members with their restoration projects, the sale of their Cortina, or just a friendly chat about a particular model they may have owned in the past.
Club members meet on the first Tuesday every month and non-members are welcome to visit.
There are club events and shows, grass gymkhanas and barbeques happening through out the year, any excuse to take your Cortina out for a drive seems to appeal to most members.

Please feel free to contact any of the Committee Members for further information.
