very probably.
it is definitely not a crossflow as the inlet and exhaust manifolds are on the same side of the head

I agree as above, definately not crossflow and probally as said 1500 or 1600cc Cortina engine. But what a brilliant car.

Saw this too. The Mrs' only comment was 'isn't it small!'
Interesting to see where this whole thing came from. Liked the front number plate too!

Sorry, but I think you will find you are absolutely (that is 100%) wrong.
Also, just because your picture is bigger doesn't make it better. That is the typical american misnomer.
The original seven captured pretty damn well by skydivepaul on his low-res phone is a completely perfect work of art.
All IMVHO of course.
