At Fraze Productions, we are passionate about classic car culture. Our designs celebrate iconic vehicles that have shaped automotive history, and our approach isn’t fashion-led, but rather an homage to design and storytelling. Among the most cherished of these is the Lotus Cortina MK1—a car whose racing legacy and distinct aesthetics resonate with enthusiasts around the world. Our collection features two bespoke designs of the Lotus Cortina MK1, each crafted to capture its spirit and make it accessible through our premium merchandise.
The Story of the Lotus Cortina MK1
The Lotus Cortina MK1 is more than just a car; it’s a symbol of British racing history. Born out of a collaboration between Ford and Lotus in the early 1960s, this car was engineered to dominate the racing circuit. Ford wanted to elevate their popular Cortina, and Lotus, under the leadership of the legendary Colin Chapman, stepped up to the task. The result was a sleek, lightweight vehicle with a powerful twin-cam engine and revolutionary suspension, which gave the car agility and speed well beyond its peers. Its distinct green stripe on a white body became an iconic look, representing a blend of style, performance, and British innovation.
Driven by motorsport greats such as Jim Clark, the Lotus Cortina MK1 went on to win numerous championships and races, cementing its legacy as a racing icon. Today, the car is beloved by collectors and classic car enthusiasts who admire its pioneering spirit, engineering, and aesthetics.
Fraze Productions’ Unique Lotus Cortina MK1 Designs
At Fraze Productions, we don’t simply put a car image on a shirt—we capture the essence and story behind the design. Our two Lotus Cortina MK1 designs are crafted to connect with those who appreciate the history and beauty of classic cars.
Our first design, available on our long-sleeve T-shirt, highlights the car’s defining characteristics in a crisp, refined line drawing. This design pays tribute to the car’s iconic silhouette and distinctive green stripe, capturing the minimalistic beauty of the Lotus Cortina MK1. It’s a subtle nod to the car’s legacy, making it a versatile addition for any fan of classic cars, suitable for everyday wear yet undeniably sophisticated.
The second design, a bolder take on the Lotus Cortina, presents a more detailed, dynamic portrayal that embodies the thrill of the track. With bold, illustrative elements, this design evokes the energy and excitement of the racing scene that made the Lotus Cortina MK1 a legend. Available on our high-quality short-sleeve shirts, this version is perfect for those who want a striking piece that brings the car’s exhilarating history to life.
Both designs are available on premium, long-lasting fabrics that complement the timelessness of these cars. Our goal is to offer merchandise that doesn’t feel trendy, but rather timeless—much like the cars we honour.
