just nitpicking over minor things computerized electronic choke versus having to push the key in, it still has a choke
I use to start it every weekend or two when mowing the lawns so was never more then 2 weeks between being started, might have made a difference or just got lucky
i have two mid 60s mk1 cortinas both start first turn of the key, maintenance and looking after them helps.
things people didn't do back then
