In U.K. that would be a Cortina MkV L trim. |

... so Taunus TC3. Unusual side indicators. My hunch is a run-out edition similar to UK Cortina Crusader - various Taunus names were used - eg Brillant (no that's not a typo for Brilliant) in Germany, Bravo in Belgium (and maybe other countries such as Norway), XL for Austria etc. |

Those are distinctly low rent wheels for a run out special, is it possible someone has pulled a stunt? |

I don't know enough about the final Taunuses to say much, but bearing in mind they were all made in Koln and/or Genk for wherever they ended up, I guess they were all much the same underneath skin-deep tweaks such as badges and side tapes. The gist seems to be L trim with upgraded interiors up to Ghia spec, but no external jewellery (wheels, lights, vinyl roof, tints etc). Some were 2-tone, and colours were usually variations of blue to blue-grey. |

I think here a similar runout edition was called the Conquest: http://www.targhenere.net/gallery/photogallery.php?photo_id=37276 |

Possibly a case of “Crusaderitis”, the run out special obviously means a little less elsewhere. That is why I expected rather better wheels. -- Last edit: 2021-07-28 22:43:26 |

They look like those non-OEM indicators I sometimes saw on cars from the Netherlands or Belgium, back in the 1980s. OEM indicator repeaters were common, but nearly always behind the front wheelarch. These, however, were installed in front of the wheelarch, and young me wondered what their point was, since they were close to the original blinkers. |
