Team Manager Alan Mann had a very close relationship with Ford and ran a number of Ford racing cars in his famous livery. Lotus Cortina CTC 24E was built in 1968 as a stopgap because the new Escort Twin Cam could not be homologated in time. With a 205 BHP Cosworth-Ford FVA engine and every spare ounce taken from the car it was a very rapid machine.
