I don't really know anything about Mk1 and Mk2 exports to J but assume they did trickle through in small numbers (similar to mid-late 60s Rootes and BMC - paykanhunter found a 1968 Rootes brochure some months ago, and some Minis and ADO16 went over in period); I also think we've had a couple of Corsairs in J but haven't checked. There is a story about Mk3 Cortinas being slightly too wide for one of the J tax bands so the bodywork of J-bound cars was clamped on the Dagenham assembly line to narrow it by the necessary fractions of an inch to slip through. -- Last edit: 2013-07-01 14:49:22
