Ford Cortina Engines and Transmissions

You will find a Ford Cortina engine that is petrol-powered and rear-wheel drive. Everyday choices include the 1.2 MT with a manual gearbox, the 1.5 AT automatic, and the livelier 1.6 MT Lotus. Those examples show how powertrain, transmission and drivetrain pairings varied, not the full lineup.
