Here is an old pic of me and my '75 1600. It was my ride while I was stationed in Germany 1981-84. Thought I share. I loved that car! I hope it lives on somewhere.

Fra Estland:
We have heard from Lauri in Estonia earlier, and now he has sent us some
recent pictures of his car:
The letters on the car even reflect light in the dark:
If you want to see how his car looked before this last finishing touch,
take a look here. More pictures are found
at: www.fordtaunus.net
Fra Ungarn:
Viktor in Hungary has sent us this greeting: Hi! It is a 75er Taunus, with
2.0 v6 engine.
Maybe you've seen his greeting in our guestbook?
No doubt a lot of work has been done to make this car special
both on the outside and in the engine compartment.
Fra Nederland:
I am a really Taunus freak. My name is Alice and I come from Holland. We
don't have Taunus clubs round here, what I think is very wrong. At the regular
Ford clubs you don't often see a TC II or TC III.
My Taunus is a 1.6 GL automatic, build 1980, 140.000 km. It's
original, and the furniture looks like new.
I'm busy right now to make my Taunus ready for a paint job.
It becomes a real German police car. (What they can do with an american car,
I can do with a German car). When it's ready, I will send you new pictures.
Greetings, Alice
Holland.
Fra Estland:
Hello. My name is Argo and I have Ford Taunus Coupe 1.6, 1975.
These are the old pictures. I am restoring my car at the moment,
hope to send you some better pictures soon.
I live in Estonia and I am hoping to make some contacts with
other Taunus fans in other countries - skriver Argo.
Fra Polen:

Fra Estland:

his styled mid-model Taunus. Lauri writes that the car is a 1976 GL with a

Fra Ungarn:
Hi, Greetings from Hungary! Congratulation to your Taunus-club.
I would like to send a picture of my favorite car. It's a '73 Taunus GXL automatic.
A have a plan to fix this car soon, but it's up to money and time, of cource.
Good bye guys, I wish you luck to the Club. Karcsi.
Fra Nederland:
Low quality picture of my car, but it's the only one I have
at this time in digitized format...
Freshly in: see the whole story
of this car with lots of pictures.
Originally, it was a blue 2-door '79 Ford Taunus 1.6L sedan.
Then everything was painted black/red, we mounted a 2.0 liter 4 cylinder engine
under the hood, and there we go... One year later the car got an accident
and had to be rebuild.
Engine was swapped by an old 2.8 liter Granada engine with
attached to it a 5-speed gearbox taken from an old Sierra XR4. Mounted an
even larger wing on the back and expanded the wheels to 8,5 and 9 inch wide
ones (205x50 front/ 235x45 rear) and lifted the rear-axle a bit. Put 6 Rally-2000
beams on the front and 8 additional smaller ones, which gives a total of 18
headlights, which gave me serious trouble with the local police several times.
I now have a Ford 12M and 17M. The 12M will be sold, and I'll
keep the 17M for future modifications :-) Grtx, Sysop Fox-1
Fra Tyskland:

Fra Ungarn:
Denne firedørs 1.6L '74 modellen,
ruller i Ungarn, og tilhører József. Bildet over ble tatt for
noen år siden. Etterhvert meldte behovet for en oppussing seg:
Like før jul sendte Jozsef nye
bilder, og det er ikke tvil om at bilen nå har fått et nytt liv:
Fra Russland:
Hello, my name is Peter, I'm from Russia, Moscow. I have a
Ford Taunus '78 1.6L.
My grandfather have bought it in 1978 NEW and in 1980 took
it in Moscow. By this time it has gone 125.000 km and still in good condition.

Fra England:
Hello, I am Tony from England. I own a 1983 Cortina (Taunus)
Mk5 2.1 GLS. The GLS model is rare in the UK as it features factory fitted
Recaro seats and many other extras.
My car is one of the very last GLS models registered and has
many additional extras. I have fitted a 5 speed gearbox, a 2.1 litre RS engine,
Ford Motorsport exhaust, lowered suspension pack, additional rear headrests,
RS Mexico sports steel road wheels, and a Granada 2.8i front spoiler along
with custom made quarter bumpers.
