Hello friends of British automobiles,
Here is a short introduction of myself: I am 66 years old and live in Switzerland, near Zurich. As a former IT specialist, I have been restoring classic cars for many years as a way to unwind. Among my British vehicles, for example, is a Jaguar E-Type FHC (Series 2), which I stripped down to the very last screw and rebuilt from the ground up over the course of 6.5 years.
Currently, I have a Lotus Cortina MK1 completely dismantled and am in the process of rebuilding it. I am facing a few challenges here, as the spare parts situation is unfortunately not quite as straightforward as it was for the E-Type. For instance, I am still missing the heater blower fan, which seems to be absolutely impossible to find anywhere.
So, if anyone here knows where I can buy such a blower motor with the fan wheel—ideally brand new—any help would be very much appreciated.
Greetings from "Heidiland"!

 
welcome - I can't help with the blower but I am glad you are here.
 
Gruetzi Paul! Welcome to BCF.

You might find a replacement motor by looking for a Ford Cortina parts supplier, or even an owners' club.

A few possibiities:

A local Autoelektriker or Elektromotoren-Service could completely rebuild an old motor. And Capri-Schweiz might also be a good source of help. > Ford Capri - Die Plattform für Typ 1, Bauart 2, Baureihe 3 <

I have fond memories of my hiking days in Tessin/Ticino!
