Plate is BFPO or Austrian, not normal UK.

Not Austrian. It's RHD anyways.

Interesting question then - as BFPO, was it supplied in UK or D?

Why 'Made for' ? It has been stated that LHD/RHD does not justify a 'Made for'. On the other hand, if it was called 'Estate' rather than 'Turnier'....

Done. It was supplied to a Brit after all.

Please set as "built in Netherlands" & "made for GB"

In the 50s and 60s, all Ford Taunus exported to RHD countries were converted in Amsterdam.

"converted in" is not "made in", and the "made for" on the site is not used for RHD/LHD differences

P3 Taunus assembly in Amsterdam confirmed. The RHD conversion was an additional process which we're trying to track for where these may crop up.

^ oops - corrected. Didn't intend to enter as built in TH but am beginning to wonder if there was an early-60s Taunus assembly site somewhere around Pacific for sightings in TH, HK, Singapore, Japan etc
