Ford TE Cortina 6 Ghia - Big power in a small car

Here is an all original Ford TE Cortina 6 Ghia, fitted with the six cylinder engine. While in England these models had 1.3 and 1.6 litre engines and maybe a 2 litre on occasion, in Australia the 2 litre was considered the “small” engine and many were fitted with the 3.3 litre pr 4.1 litre six cylinder engine. A manual six cylinder car had plenty of straight line go power but handling was somewhat challenged with understeer in corners. A veritable “lead tipped arrow”. What do you think of the Australian six cylinder Cortinas? I would be keen to hear from some UK viewers too. Please 👍 give the video a thumbs up, Share, Comment and subscribe. Thanks for watching.
