Great ute I have my eye on one , your calling it a Bakkie did come from South Africa or is it a P100 from the UK. Or is it one of the ones brought in by Ford Aust for evaluation?

Hi FOR-CHE
You may be able to answer a qustion for me. Many years ago I was pulling parts of a Soth African Mk5/TF Cortina in a wreckers it was a Ghia and had a small CORTINA badge on the glovebox lid was this standard as no one I ask can help.
