Hi all

Im looking for my father MK1 Racing Lotus Cortina.
Firtsly bought by Francisco Santos, Lisbon racing driver, and then sold to my father Fernando Manso, in Lourenço Marques -Mozambique
Arrived with British plate EGC569C, and re-plated with Portuguese plate, MLE-50-83, in Mozambique.
My father reece the car till 70, and then sold it to Alexandre Correia.
After 1974 Portuguese Revolution, nobody knows him. I return several times to Mozambique during this years, and no one knows nothing about the car, probably destroyed, or sold to South Africa, who knows.

Does anybody trace this car!?
Regards
Paulo Manso

Hi Paulo,
Welcome to the forum,
Always great to hear about LC's in other parts of the world.
Hopefully someone on here will know something.

On this site reporting Mozambique old races, you can see a lot of pics, of this Lotus Cortina, on my father`s hands.
