Comes up as GL automatic on hpicheck. Body colour grille usually means special edition, but Carousel not released until June 81, so I guess home-painted. -- Last edit: 2011-10-13 03:50:41 |

Body coloured grilles were never fitted to the cortina carousel which was a limited edition of around 6000 cars based on the \'L\'. The crusader limited edition (30,000 built) had the body coloured grille to match the upper bodywork only when duo tone paint was specified. single tone crusaders had the normal black grille although many had grilles painted by dealers to make them more attractive to customers when they were trying to shift the last examples from their stocks. |
