Its possibly been discussed before but as an early example is it correctly Lotus Cortina or Ford Cortina Lotus? (We have both descriptions on IMCDb for the 1963 model.)

So if it's registered as a ford it should be Ford Cortina Lotus then, so if that could be added like the example

Colin Chapman always refered to the car as a lotus-cortina and this was the name picked up by the press and became the commonly accepted name . Ford however, not wanting the name 'lotus' ahead of the 'cortina' name always officially called the mk1 a cortina-lotus.
Ford also officially called the mk2 version a cortina-lotus but some of their literature and a parts book for this car refer to a lotus-cortina so popular opinion won through. The mk2 was always built by ford themselves and the mk1 built by lotus.

FGF 113C beginning to appear fairly often in media coveragw - a nice Fifth Gear Classics video at Link to "fwd.channel5.com" (with some archive 1966 and RAC Rally footage of LCs; may not have been a broadcast item??) and various magazine features.
