I remember the old Taunus, and like the shape and never understood why we didn't have it, although some might say it was very similar to a mk3 Cortina.   Look at the link, and in the pics is a Scorpio.   Anyone on here?

I believe the first of the V4 Koln engines were 1288cc.   I think they were in 1300cc/1500cc/and 1700cc the last of which was built in Essex and went in our Consul.   The first time I came across such a titchy V4 was in a Saab, but then of course Saab at that time was using Ford engines from Germany.
