I have never heard of this model. It looks a bit of a cross between the 70's era Cortina and Capri |

The ute behind is also interesting, it has ZA style reflectors below the bumper!

Yeah, it looks to be a South African version of the German Ford P7 (part of the Taunus family).
It differs from the Euro version with RHD & twin round headlights. The ute looks like an HT or HG Holden, again South African with its additional red rear reflectors. Dr Terry Last edited by Dr Terry; 03-05-2019 at 08:57 AM. |

Yes, gut feeling is it’s an El Camino bakkie behind.
Thanks for the clarification on ZA vs Euro Taunii! |

Hi,
I remember them from my childhood. The coupe is very rare. I don't see any differences from the German Taunus. It could be made in Germany. Much more common was 17M, which was a V4 engine and 4-door. Cheers, |

It's some derivative of a Ford Zephyr.

Front indicators look like TC Cortina,
same with the rectangular lights, grille, front edge of the bonnet. At first I thought the body was similar design to the 60s Ford Corsair, but not when you compare them. |
