About the Ford Cortina Mk1 #3 P. Hughes / B. Young African Safari Rally 1964 AUTOart 1:18

TL;DR: AUTOart's 1:18 diecast Ford Cortina Mk1 #3 reproduces the P. Hughes and B. Young entry from the 1964 African Safari Rally, opening doors and bonnet included. This is a used model, box showing storage marks, casting unaffected. A period rally subject for a WRC Classic shelf.

The Safari Rally's brutal East African conditions made the Cortina Mk1 an unlikely but genuine competitor, and this AUTOart diecast keeps that entry's number and livery intact rather than a generic period repaint.

AUTOart's Rally-Car Detailing and This Copy's Condition

The zinc alloy body lets AUTOart reproduce the Cortina's boxy, upright saloon shape with the raised suspension and mudflaps typical of a Safari-spec entry, and the race number and period sponsor markings sit cleanly across the doors and bonnet. Opening panels reveal engine bay and cabin detail built to reflect the stripped-out, rally-prepared specification these cars ran in East Africa. This is a used model, and its outer box shows traces of storage rather than factory-fresh presentation, though the casting itself carries no such wear. For a rally subject this specific, the livery detail carries the appeal far more than box presentation does.

The Cortina's Place in Early Rally History

Ford's Cortina Mk1 competed across a range of 1960s rallying, and its appearance in an event as demanding as the Safari Rally speaks to the model's surprising durability against far larger, more powerful machinery. Displayed alongside other WRC Classic entries or early Ford competition cars, this model brings a lesser-documented corner of period rallying into a collection, broadening a display beyond the more familiar Group B and WRC-era liveries most collections default to.
