Ford Cortina Mk1 GT A3 Art Poster

Ford Cortina Mk1 GT – The Original British Bullet – A3 Art Poster

This is the car that taught half of Britain how to drive sideways before they’d even passed their test.

Hand-drawn in black ink every reverse-rake windscreen, every chrome spear, every tiny Lotus twin-cam badge was sketched in with pencil and overdrawn in ink. Then scanned, layered, and weathered on computer until it looked like it had just been pulled out of a hedge after a 1965 Rally GB stage. No AI. Just ink, swearwords, and a bloke who still calls it “the Corty”.

Against a backdrop of faded Union Jack racing green and rain-soaked tarmac, the Mk1 sits low and mean on Minilites, whitewalls caked in North-Weald mud. Retro rally fonts shout what every lad in a sheepskin coat already knew: 1500 GT. Airflow body. 0-60 before the coppers finish their tea.

Printed on heavy 200gsm matte art paper – the same weight as the original Haynes manual pages we all learned from – A3 size, 297 × 420 mm.

Stick it above the kettle and remember when £450 bought you a proper weapon. Hang it in the lock-up and feel the itch to fit a set of twin 40s all over again.

This isn’t just a Cortina. It’s the sound of your dad’s stories, the smell of Castrol R in February, the reason you still wave at every Mk1 you see.

Ford Cortina Mk1. Small car. Massive reputation. Drawn by someone who’s still looking for one to buy back.
