Same in Austria. I mean the Cortina and Taunus at the same time thing.

And yes, Cortinas were usually pov, Tauni posh. Thinking of it now, I can't remember seeing many Tauni without a V6.

Cortinas were cheap there by default, since the 30% import tax didn't apply due to EFTA. Selling them pov spec too

made them a very attractive offer indeed. I guess this alone prevented Austria to be overrun with Jap imports.

 

Interesting is also that prior to the Consul/Granada launch, TCs were built alongside P7s for almost two years.

So there were two completely different cars called Taunus built at the same time.

^ Being an 80's Jap, it'll likely fire up and still get to the shops and back.

Found amongst my family photo's but I know nothing about it!

 

Here it is in better days (in the same location - at the Montagu Motor Museum, Beaulieu).

During redevelopment in 1971/2 some of the old buildings were left as temporary storage, the Daimler languished outside but has since been restored.
