Dear all Ford owners,

Would need your kind advise/help in identifying the model of this Ford.

I was told it is a Cortina MK3 . But the tail-lights does not seem to match the Cortina Mk3 , or does it? I'm at a confused state here.

Please do help..

    That is definately a MkIV Cortina. Possibly the face lift version (sometimes called a MkV).The front and rear lights have been modified/changed. As has the front grill. The original rear lights would not have been as long and narrow, and the fronts would have been two rectangle shaped lamps.

    MK V:

    Yes, but the front of this has been modded. Its not a Mk 3 as that is a completely different shape and far more curved.

    I had 3 Mk3's including a lovely 2000E as well as a Mk 4 2.3 litre V6 Ghia. At the time I thought they were great cars although they had a tendency to be a little tail happy in the wet.
