Independent counts (e.g. engine and colour) are never combined into a calculated figure. Surviving examples are never presented as original production.

History

The 1650 was shown in January 1967 at the Racing Car Show with a Chris Lawrence tuned, enlarged 1500 engine of 120 PS, replacing the 85 PS Cortina 1500 unit. It also had larger disc brakes, modified rear suspension, better sound insulation and a standard sunroof. Because of poor reliability it was dropped after only 32 cars.
