Watch for the Retro Ford magazine (UK) February 2010 issue. It has great coverage of the Cortina Mark 1 owners club combined with the SFA Dyno day held at Dyno Dynamics factory in Melbourne from last year. The event was well supported by classic small Fords. The magazine has been released already in the UK but it usually takes another month before Australians will see it on the stands at your local newsagents.
