DynaMike ◊ 2011-01-22 23:22	I was thinking Opel Rekord [C] (at least the Caravan had the gas filler cap door there), but the door handles don't match... Our Panhard has te gas filler cap on that side as well
electra225 ◊ 2011-01-23 21:05	I think Ingo is right.
Lennart ◊ 2013-04-17 12:26	All Taunus TC1 (even RHD-vehicles) had the fueltank on the right side. The filling-pipe was nearly vertically and had a twist-lock. Japanese cars normally have the tank on the left side.

Ingo ◊ 2013-04-17 12:37	Thailand maybe? Or Japan or Hongkong?
dsl ◊ 2013-04-17 16:35	Japan and HK were Cortina Mk3 markets - which does not stop possibility of parallel TC1, but makes chances lower. Thailand possible in theory, but it had various UK Fords such as Anglia, Corsair, earlier Cortina.
