1968 Ford Taunus

Shrinking sales of the P7 forced Ford to restyle it only a year later, and the new car was again called P7, known as the P7.2 or P7b, with the rear lights again on the corners. In 1968 the London to Sydney Marathon was entered by three Ford 20M RS from Germany and Belgium. The Taunus was the family car of Ford Germany, sold under the 12M, 15M, 17M, 20M and 26M names over several generations. It was named after the Taunus mountain range in Germany and was often a close relative of a British Ford.
