The Ford Taunus TC is a mid-range car from Ford that was built from autumn 1970 to summer 1982. It was offered with four-cylinder in-line engines or six-cylinder V engines and had rear-wheel drive. It is the successor to the Ford P6, which had a technically different design with front-wheel drive and V4 engines. The British Ford Cortina MK III was built on the same platform and was identical in construction from 1976 (hence the name “TC” = Taunus Cortina).
