It seems it started out as a Cortina GT and was painted up/outfitted to mimic a Lotus version.

This one was rehashed on one of the Lotus Cortina forums.It does say that it was built from a GT. I've heard from people who've owned V8 Cortinas,that they are scary-fast,& all that power gets old after a little while. - Doug
