Posted: Sat Feb 23, 2019 3:41 amI bought a '68 Cortina GT new in Dec 1968 and I believe they are the same or very nearly. I was just last fall going thru some stuff in my basement and found them. I'd forgotten all about them, but obviously, I had removed them from the car. Actually, I later had a set of Ford RS wheels that I installed on the Mk 2 and then later, I moved them to the Mk 1 GT that I bought as a toy. Mk1 was so much better handling than the Mk2 and lighter. That Mk1 led to my purchase of the Elan S3SS that I still have in Sep 1974.
