The Cortina was Britain's best selling car in 1981 for the second year running, up to and including that year, though its replacement, the Sierra, was being prepared. In Australia the TF Cortina, which had sold poorly, was quietly dropped. The last Cortina estate combined the Mark IV's bodyshell, which was originally from the 1970 Taunus, with the Mark V front body pressings, and a pick up version was built in South Africa.
