...but where is all the other stuff that is really needed, like brake master/servo, clutch master, ignition electrics, windscreen washer bottle etc etc ?
Everything was hidden, there wasn't even a wire in site.Not sure what I think about it in this case. I suppose there’s a ton of perfectly concours restored Escorts so why not do something a little different? It’s very well executed by the looks of it.

how did they do it and were is it all fitted?
Yeh they are rostyles and yeh tyres were bit soft. That was from day collected the car
Basically is a mk3 cortina but European spec so.called a taunus. Front of bonnet narrower, roof at front inch lower and being a coupe. To my knowledge there's 2 in Scotland including this one and 3 lurking around England somewhere
2.0ltr v6 with a borg warner autobox. Another thing never seen was the the flywheel was part of the torque converter and back of engine was a small diamond shaped drive plate

I think the only exterior body panels you can interchange with a Mk3 Cortina are the rocker panels and front & rear valences.
A Mk3 Cortina has a simple lower bodyside swage line but the Taunus has a large stepped lower swage line like the Mk4 Cortina.

Nice.I'm guessing being a GXL version, that will also have the early style curved down dash and sunken 3 clock dash, like the early Cortina's did?
