Another Year, Another NEC Show!
The 2022 NEC Classic Car Show was, yet again, a special one for the FTC-GB.
Although the Taunus marque had been in production since April 30th 1939, with the launch of the Ford Taunus G93A, all Taunus cars produced up until 1970 were designed and built by Ford of Germany. Previously, Ford of England and Ford of Germany produced very different vehicles for their respective Domestic Markets.
The German built vehicles were very different to the UK domestic market, and a radical for the time design was released in 1962. The P4 12M was the first Front Wheel Drive vehicle produced by Ford of Germany.
The P4 12M had a completely new body style and introduced a new range of engines to the fleet. 2022 marks 60 years of the P4 12M and as such, along with being a radical departure from the usual fare of the 1960's, required celebrating!
