Vehicle Overview
Description
Find us at deanemotors.ie In the vast history of motoring brand collaborations, few are as celebrated as that of Ford and Lotus who combined powers to create the original Lotus Cortina in 1963. After huge success both on the road and on the track, Ford took over production of the Mk2 iteration in 1967 in a bid to improve build quality, and changed the name from ‘Lotus Cortina’ to ‘Ford Cortina Lotus’. This spectacular ’69 example with 73k miles is presented in the timeless colour of Ermine White and was optioned with Sherwood Green stripes and Lotus badging, as per the Mk1 cars. Having originally started life as a Dublin registered car, it has been fully restored with a donor shell and is now presented in stunning condition throughout. Despite some minor blemishes to the bodywork, this Cortina Lotus is captivating and it’s clear that great care was taken when the restoration was undertaken. The chrome, glass and trims are all in excellent condition and the wheels have recently been fully refurbished. The same high standard is present inside with the only real signs of age being the beautifully patinated original leather steering wheel. Thankfully, its previous owners have resisted the urge to retrofit a radio into the dashboard…most likely because the intake sound of the twin Dellorto carburettors is sublime at full chat. The infamous 1600 Twin Cam engine is a real gem, and the car is a joy to drive having had a full mechanical overhaul at the same time as the body restoration. A charming and very capable ’60s icon that will impress. **Viewing strictly by appointment. All cars supplied with valid NCT where appropriate.**

I recently purchased an e46, 320Ci off Simon from Deane Motors. Couldn’t have asked for a better experience from start to finish. From the first call on Tuesday to picking up the car on Friday, the process was seamless! Someone who really knows their stuff and values his customers. Would highly recommend to anyone in the market.

I just got my Ferrari back from Simon and the lads today after a serious engine out service. They got straight into the job when the took in the car and had it back in a very reasonable timeframe. The lads kept me up to date throughout with videos, photos and general updates. You wouldn't get this level of transparency from a Main Dealer. There were unforeseen issues along the way but they just got on with it and were able to order awkward parts where possible and had parts made where they were not available or too expensive to buy. Very few mechanic operations left of this type in Ireland with this wealth of knowledge and experience and they are not afraid to work on the higher end old cars. I will definitely be back to them for any future maintenence. Now all I need is a dry day to enjoy this V8 on the backroads again!!

I’ve bought already 3 cars from Simon and Simon - such a stunning selection of cars for nearly any budget, and more importantly amazing after sale customer care. All 3 cars were in great condition with low mileage, ready to go to any car show. The latest one - Mercedes w201 has only 78k km (less than 50k miles!) in its 34 years, what a find by Simon and team! I had a small mechanical issue with one of the cars after the purchase - we arranged a repair and I was immediately provided with a replacement car (a wonderful experience on its own - a powerful beast with 250 bhp!). Was receiving updates on the repair and timing along the way in text messages, which was really nice. Always feeling welcomed and respected even buying comparatively cheaper cars. I could really feel their love to cars, knowledge and professionalism. I will for sure be back again and trade in for the next car!
