Rare Fords in UK

[Don T]

Hi.

 

Is there anyone of you that have seen/heard/ owned or whatever...

 

a Ford m?

 

It's produced in Germany between 1952 and 1972.

The models are: 12m, 15m, 17m, 20m and 26m.

 

And another car based on the Taunus P5 chassi (1965-67) called OSI. Made in Italy. Take a look at wannenglueck.de

 

I got a 67 Taunus 17m myself. Pics will be posted in a week or so

Yes mate the early euro Taunus (or what turned into the tuanus, there's loads of em

What 17M you got? 2 door pillarless they are sweeeeet

OSi, I think I saw one many years ago in a breakers yard in Bolton, Accident damaged. Im sure it was a convertable, all I can remember was being told it was a European Ford sports car, Left hand Drive, and Red, Never seen or heard of one until today,

I thought it was a Fiat at first until I asked, I wanted to get the rear lights off of it for my Hot Rod, but to get the lights, I would have to buy the car!!!!

Pillarless... No. That one's called Hardtop over here Thats sweet - yes! Mine is a 2-door with pillars. Lowered a lot and mounted Genuine Boyd Coddington wheels (Looked at "American HotRod" at Discovery?)

You should have bought the hole car!!! Now, the OSI roadster is very,very,very,very,very rare... Maybe it's just the ONE in Germany at Wannenglueck. And I meen the one and only in the whole world
