FORD TAUNUS 12M(P4)

Historical interest, mainly, as the first production fwd Ford (16 years before the Fiesta), and the first use of a V4 engine by the company. TS models were credited with 87mph on 65bhp, but though the 12M was listed in Britain, it never sold in any numbers over here. Restyled for 1967.
