There's a newer one presently on Junkmail:
https://www.junkmail.co.za/classic-c...4a63f6dd032df3# Price translates to about $7K-ish, so a little dearer if you brought it over, than the other. |

I remember the P100 from the 90s in Europe. It was quite popular by tradies. |

South Africa had Cortina utes since 1971. They even had an XR6 Cortina ute in 1981 (V6 Essex motor). It's not surprising that they had an XR8 in 1984 (this was a Sierra, though).
Maybe we are behind the times compared to their automotive branding

They will always be TC's, TD's and TE's to me (I had a TD) but a V6 sounds like a nightmare to get parts for here.

Not sure about this car but the Mk3 Cortina's in good nick are very hard to find for sale. I owned a MK3 (TD - 1976) with a 200 6 cylinder engine, sorry I had to sell it, but my wife was pregnant with twins and we already had 2 kids, very hard to fit 4 kids on the back seat. Damn, miss that car still

May have been from a South African Migrating here, stuffed into a container with household items etc. surely you wouldn't bring it over by itself

there have been all sorts of niche car based utes around the world over the years. My favorite was the Fiesta based Bantam
 all the better now that there is a C2 based one in the works https://www.whichcar.com.au/news/ford-focus-ute |

The Essex engine might be useful for someone rebuilding a Zepher maybe? but I think it will remain unsold at that price
