Ford Taunus 20M XL - Pillarless coupe - Classic Car Tax Exempt - German Cortina

You are looking at a Ford Taunus 20M XL - with the bulletproof 2. 0 V6 Colonge engine. It has an interesting history with very low mileage for a car of 1971.  

Major R. H Glue bought the Ford Taunus offered here new in 1971 while stationed in Germany. When buying the car he had the choice of it being right or left hand drive. as he was from England he chose Right hand drive as he planned to bring the car home after his duty was over. Thus making this car incredibly rare with very very few made in RHD. is this possibly the only one left in Europe? 

Since then the car has only had 3 other previous caring owners. and as such is presented in fine condition. Starts on the button and drives very well crusing happily at 70 mph + 

The car was often taken to shows and has always had minimal dry use having covered just 224 miles since last MOT and 573 miles since the previous one.
