Seems too much smaller for a P100...Are you sure that isn't a Ford Bantam,a Escort Mk III pick-up???...the P100 had a longer load bed and that seems short-sized PS The P100 was marketed since 1981,and appears to be a South-African made Cortina Estate Mk V"chopped"into rear part;that model lasted until 1986(in Europe was sold overall in UK);2nd generation appears in Europe around 1989,now based on South-African Sierra Estate Mk I;that model got also Diesel engines and was exported also in other European Countries,like Italy(also in a sporty-trimmed version,with rear cab rollbar and decorative coloured stripes on sides) However,the older P100,Cortina-based design was shifted at Turkish Otosan,that will modify grille with quad squared headlights(former P100 had only two squared ones)and sold it as Otosan P-100,beside the license-built Otosan-Ford Taunus Mk V(in 1992 was still built,as witnessing a my-owned brochure got writing to Otosan just) |
