Hi there, mi name is martin, I'm from argentina, I want to show you my first car, it is a Taunus tc3, or in UK a cortina mk5, in this country the coupe was build fastback, like the older version, i hope you like it, still need tons of work, but It'll look great...

 

mmm I think I'm not posting the pics in the right form :P

this is where the pics are, sorry..

 

looks like a great car to restore that you have there mate, never seen one of those before, is that engine a pinto or a lima block the same as the american 2.3l in the xr4ti's do you know?

 

that is exactly the same engine, 2.3 around 130 bhp when it was new

 

looks good what are your plans?

 

well this is a kind of a special version, the sp version, it came with 10 extra horse power and some graphics, my idea is to restore it to original status, and slammed...

 

thank you all for the comments

 

Like that We didnt get them here.Its like the love child of a Cortina and a Granada coupe

 

hahaha yes it really looks like that... if I'm not wrong, i think that here is the only country where it was build

 

Hello Ticho. Hermosa la coupe!
Yes, as you said, it was made only in Argentina. Cheers.

 

Gracias Ale, I try really hard to keep restoring it to the golden days, but you know it is hard...

 

I never saw that golden times!! lol

 

Nice looking Tina

 

Thanks mate, if you like this kind of model, search for taunus GT SP and you will find a few ones

 

This is mint.

 

Oh yes... that is the perfect example of a nice taunus..
