That's a German Ford 17M (or 20M?) Turnier [P7] or [P7b]. Edit: The rear fender looks rather edgy, therefore [P7], 1968. By the extra side trim I'd say it's a 20M. -- Last edit: 2008-10-22 23:19:34 |

Now that it's possible to see it clearly, I would say it's a 1969+ 17M [P7b]. Curiously, it seems to have a Taunus script on the left of the decklid... Was it sold as a Taunus in Sweden? |

Why Sweden? This is set in some south-American country, but I think they filmed everything in south of France (or maybe Spain?) |

The number plates look like Swedish plates, or at least they look like fake Swedish plates. |

Those are not Swedish plates, there should not be a bar between letters and numbers, but a MOT sticker on the rear plate. |

The plate-bars and the letters are old German ones, not in use any more since November 2000. Then most old tools were sold to Southeast Europe, because there they are still used (Bosnia for example). |

As Gag said, I also thought the plates seen on the 4th thumbnail looked Swedish. Nevertheless, looking more carefully at some of this vehicle's details ( shape of mirrors, bonnet rubber straps, mudflaps, rear fog light and even the shape of the plate's numbers and letters ) and the architecture seen on some pics of the scenery, I would say this can be Portugal. Something that I think the thumbnail of the Celica confirms, since its plates are Portuguese. |

And current Portuguese plates have black DIN characters on a white background, so these nondescript plates could have been made there. http://www.olavsplates.com/portugal.html |

@rpcm: yes, on the first view they are looking Swedish by its combinations, but they are absolutely for sure made with old German DIN-tools. @Gag: the actual Portuguese font is nearly like the old DIN-font, but not 100%, the plate itself is a bit different, too. -- Last edit: 2008-12-04 20:43:07 |
