Another Ford Cortina. This time a Mk4 and located in The Netherlands.

https://www.autowereld.nl/ford/cortina/1600-l-mooie-staat-1977-34939860/details.html

Advert states previous restoration. Only travelled 19.379 km*
See a tide line, engine size added to the front wings, and what looks like a non-standard choke. Ls did not have vinyl roofs as standard. I expect there is more "issues" waiting to be discovered when viewing it.

You could specify a vinyl roof on a 1977 Cortina L estate, but only in brown, not black.

So it's a ringer? Certainly looks like it.

£12k.

 

So this is a 1965 car with the larger rear lights, grille, bumpers etc and later doors with wind up windows but without the large “bins”  and it has the later door locks with lovely  aftermarket aluminium door pulls.

Also, I’ve never heard anyone say anything good about 80’s cars and panel gaps.

sounds like a ringer to me too!!

I wonder if it started out as a Taunus and they turned it into a Cortina to benefit from crazy English Ford nutters. The wing badges are probably the dealer or a mad giffer owner, but the vinyl roof could well be a period extra. 

I’m fairly sure NL got German built/badged Fords after 1970. They did get Cortina Mk1/2s though, and they sold well. 

Fords assembled the Cortina in the Amsterdam factory until 1975. The end of the Mk3. The Mk4s were better known as Taunus. https://nl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ford_Nederland

I have found the answer to the questionable history of this car. This advert, for the same car , same dealer, on a different site says it was originally from Portugal. The Portuguese did have Cortinas At least until the Mk4

I was thinking it was an import from another European country, Greece was another country to sell them as Cortinas.

That Dutch Wikipedia page is great. I love the first sentence on the Transcontinental truck ‘de transcontinental flopte’ 😆 - a succinct summary in just three words.

I didn’t know it assembled Mustangs in the mid 1960s though, that is a prime bit of Ford trivia.

The Dutch are know for being straightforward. I do hate it that Wiki publishes different information in different languages. The one about the Amsterdam factory does not have a English page it goes straight to Ford Europe. That page has nothing about The Dutch factory. Nether does the European languages of the same page. I did learn interesting facts when I read the Dutch page.

Fantastic original condition having had a light restoration in 2019. All original right down to the radio

I bet in 1978 the original owner was well impressed when he discovered the Saab dealer had put black and silver metal number plates on his brand new motor.

I know it's scene tax, but £4900 for this capri?

This is a running and complete car, but does need some light work to get through an MOT.

here it is during better times

https://autoshite.com/topic/9320-turkish-delight-the-otosan-anadol/

its such a shame to see that after managing to survive its been majorly Barry'ed like that, just why?!

I can begrudgingly understand the argument for some cars that if it was not sold to the barry crowd or what have you etc it would of been scrapped, so by being barry'ed it was actually saved

but im sure there would have been plenty of people/places/museums willing to give a something like that prototype good home, so its so sad to see its fallen into such hands

I like that. But the swage line in the door not lining up with the x pack arches would do my OCD* no favours. 

 

I don't have OCD but still.
