catsinthewelder Posted January 30, 2023 Share Posted January 30, 2023 Well it looks like a Taunus. But the RHD makes me wonder if it used to be a MK2 Cortina? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

2flags Posted January 30, 2023 Share Posted January 30, 2023 Ooh, that looks tidy. I'd say a couple more cylinders than a six. I wonder if it's the 289, the 302 or the biggun, the 427? What ever it is, it's nice. I like!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alan_Green Posted January 30, 2023 Share Posted January 30, 2023 Old Skool Fords are so expensive because of the nostalgia factor. "My dad had a Capri" or "I really wanted an Escort Mexico back then but I didn't have the money and now I do". But this Taunus 20M was never in the UK. There's no nostalgia factor for UK buyers. Who's gonna pay £23K? Low Horatio gearbox 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rocket88 Posted January 31, 2023 Author Share Posted January 31, 2023 These do fall between two stools…. The U.K. Ford perverts aren’t particularly interested because “ not Dagenham”, ( or wherever) The continental lot not interested because rhd…..

Low Horatio gearbox Posted January 31, 2023 Share Posted January 31, 2023 That looks epic! Much want. Mind I've hankered after a Tanus or other euro/SA Ford for a while but scene tax puts me off. I wont complain that they dont get the same appreciating just because it wasn't made/designed in Dagenham - cheaper motoring with some lovely oddball engines (V4s) and different syling mixes.

hairnet Posted January 31, 2023 Share Posted January 31, 2023 In the eBay the others you might be interested in gree MK4 Tina with a 3.0 in it for 20k Seems a lot for either something modded or as in the taunus something most people haven't heard of Lovely but not for that much money Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rocket88 Posted January 31, 2023 Author Share Posted January 31, 2023 P7 Taunus was the last “ pure” German market built Ford. After that they morphed increasingly into a Cortina, more’s the pity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
