Ford cortina Mk.4 ..convertible (..possibly Crayford) |

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". |
