I can remember a Cortina being raced at Silverstone, in the 60's . It was owned by a Doctor . I think it had a v-8 in the front and the radiator in the boot. Any body else remember this car ? Very, very quick.

If you do a Google search, you can get a lot more info. Try www.ten-tenths.com I do remember seeing the car about 1965. It had a 4.7 lt. Ford v-8 in most of the time. To start with it had a Coventry Godiva F1 V 8 fitted. It had 2 radiators with fans in the boot.
