"A really nice and good car that requires some service, easy to get back on the road. A nice and unusual classic."

Description

The car was renovated 20 years ago and then stood still for a long time. It’s been new re painted and new upholstered seats; it’s a mechanical review and service.
When the new Taunus 12M was introduced in 1952, there was great news from German Ford. With modern US-influenced pontoon chassis, its well ahead of Opel and Volkswagen. P1 got its first Facelift in 1955, but this one still has the original two-piece grill!
Originally from Gillstads Bilmuseum, where it stood until the beginning of the 2000s. Its need a MOT/Test before it hits the road.

Facts about the model

The Ford Taunus P1 is a small family car which was produced by Ford Germany from 1952 until 1962. It was marketed as the Ford Taunus 12M, and, between 1955 and 1959, as the larger-engine Ford Taunus 15M. The company produced a succession of Ford Taunus 12M models until 1970, as the name was applied to a succession of similarly sized cars, but the first Taunus 12M models, based on the company’s Taunus Project 1, remained in production only until 1962. In that year the Taunus P1 series was replaced by the Taunus P4 series.

At its launch, the car placed Ford ahead of the pack, being unusually modern in terms of the bits that showed. It was one of the first new cars to appear in Germany since before the war, and featured a radical ponton format “three box” body as pioneered (at least in Germany) by the 1949 Borgward. The three-box car body format would soon become mainstream, but when the Ford Taunus 12M appeared in 1952 competitor manufacturers including Opel, Volkswagen and Auto Union were still competing with models based closely on designs originating in the 1930s.
