I don't think it's a Crawford. If I remember right it's just a chop

not a factory convertible, just a coupe with the roof cut off.

Convertible Cortina Mk4&5 were made by Crayford and then the design was passed to Carbodies - about 80 made altogether, all with a rear rollbar/hoop. They used the 2 door body (saloon, not coupe as ^) which was very unusual in UK - only offered in 1300 base and 1300L versions and very low sales, though several more Taunus TC2 and TC3 2 door versions in Europe. This looks like LHD and Italian wing indicators so Taunus TC2 not Cortina. So did Barbie chop her Taunus saloon with Ken's angle-grinder or does the video show a rollbar from a proper conversion? Did anyone in Europe produce proper conversions?

no there was no rollbar, or top for that matter on the car and it is indeed LHD

Rather Danish as the video was most likely shot in Denmark (wing indicators were mandatory there as well).

Of course a Taunus.

[TC2] for Taunus, not Mk4. 2nd thumb shows evidence of home-made butchery to chop the roof off.

Why made for DK? Only the band is Danish.

IMHO, especially the 2nd thumb shows that it seems that this is "homemade".
