MPX5089401: Millionth Cortina Goes by Air. The millionth Ford Cortina car to be exported gets a swinging send-off. It was flown by helicopter on Thursday (9-7-70) across the English Channel from Ford's plant at Dagenham, Essex, to Ostend. Waiting to collect it was the car's buyer, a Belgian. But his cheque for the car was torn up by Britain's Ambassador in Belgium, Sir John Beith, and he got it for nothing. The Cortina has been Britain's top-selling export car since it was introduced almost eight years ago. July 1970 / Bridgeman Images
