I feel the need for a "The Works Cortinas" book - although the existing "Works Minis" and "Works Escorts" books don't adequately cover the degree of re-shelling that occurred.
Not sure whether any of the race cars were re-shelled? CTC24E is associted with Alan Mann colours but Graham Robson's book "Ford in Saloon Car Racing" has, I think, a picture of a CTC24E in Team Lotus colours driven by Paul Hawkins at Silverstone in 67. CTC12,13 and 14E may have been allocated as "identities" to Team Lotus for 67 but may not all have been used?
The works rally cars immdiately get "muddy" with the blue/gold UVW924E, that was on the 67 Acropolis Rally and won the 67 Gulf London Rally with Ove Anderson, becoming a pristine white apparently new car for Bengt Soderstrom on the (cancelled at the last minute because of the foot and mouth outbreak) 67 RAC Rally.
