1980 Ford Taunus Cabriolet The Only One In The World For Sale

This car is literally one of a kind. Ford had just one example built with left hand drive. Carbodies Ltd, the British coachbuilder from Coventry, known as the builders of the characteristic English taxis, had built a few RHD cabriolets for Ford previously, and these had been sold in England by the name of Cortina. A car with left-hand driving was to have Ford gain a foothold on the continent and Carbodies was ordered to build this Taunus which was then presented on the 1980 Car Show in Birmingham. The attempt was unsuccessful and no more examples were built. The car was sold to a resident of London. In 1989 the car, which by then had 20, 000 km on the clock, was discovered by a Dutch aficionado who brought the Taunus to the Netherlands. The paintwork had lost some of its lustre but otherwise the car was in excellent condition. The car was resprayed followed by a renewal of the hood a few years later. This is really all the work carried out on the car. The rest wasn’t touched and has remained entirely original. With its smooth-running V6 engine and its mileage of just 67, 500 km, this car will provide you with lots of driving pleasure and make it a welcome guest at car concourses and events.
Price: 24. 750 Euro

Deze rariteit is uniek. Slechts 1 exemplaar werd in opdracht van Ford gebouwd met een links stuur. De fa. Carbodies uit Coventry (GB) onder meer bekend van de karakteristieke Engelse taxi's had al enkele rechts gestuurde cabriolets voor Ford gebouwd die onder de naam Cortina in Engeland verkocht werden. Ford wilde met een links gestuurde versie voet op de vaste wal krijgen en gaf Carbodies opdracht voor het bouwen van deze Taunus die op de Carshow in Birmingham in 1980 gepresenteerd werd. Een succes bleek het niet te zijn want het is slechts bij dit ene exemplaar gebleven. De auto werd verkocht aan een inwoner uit Londen. In 1989 werd de auto ontdekt, hij had toen 20. 000km op de teller, door een Nederlandse liefhebber die de Taunus naar Nederland haalde. Op het enigszins dof geslagen lakwerk na verkeerde de auto in een uitstekende staat. De auto werd herspoten en enkele jaren later werd de cabriokap vernieuwd. Dit is eigenlijk alles wat er aan de auto gedaan werd, alles is verder origineel gebleven. Met zijn prachtig lopende V6 en nog maar 67. 500km op de teller is een hoop rijplezier te beleven en tevens een graag geziene gast tijdens concoursen en evenementen.
Prijs: 24. 750 Euro
