Taunus [TC1], XL or GXL trim? -- Last edit: 2020-01-13 15:33:00 |

Probably a 1971-73 GT (or 1974-75 XL, not sure if they got the rear treatment from the GT) |

A GT would usually have plain black rear panel, but not sure what happened for late TC1 after 74+ tweaks, and agree late XL/GXL probably got black details as well. But black window trim suggests still a GT here, maybe a very late one - 76?? |

GT disappeaered for MY1974, XL gained rev counter and other details. Possibley also the black details. Hence my comment above GXL gained a thick side trim MY1974 but had already a vinyl roof rust trap The 1975 would loose the shiny trim on the rear panel |

+/- 45 years old so it probably is not much original anymore, but an early GT would be a default listing by what's visible then |

Didn't know that - Cortina kept GT until end of Mk3, and I assumed Taunus kept the same script. I can't improve on early GT idea. |
