Solved: Light problem 4 Ford Cortina/Taunus Mk4 and TA Sprint

[gilescooperuk]

OK here is another light problem.

At least two cars shared this light unit one point for each... (and if someone finds more then extra points will be awarded!)

[gilescooperuk]

Time for the experts to illuminate this one....

What about this Ford Taunus TC2?

[gilescooperuk]

That's one of them (and a point for you) - although I had it as a cortina MK4 (being UK based) - now what about the other car that used it.

[gilescooperuk]

Open to anyone - and up to the pros. I thought this would have been solved by now...

Should I look for a kitcar?

[gilescooperuk]

probably.... (alright yes)

[gilescooperuk]

I'll give you a clue but then it has another week and it is off to the black hole.

The second use for this light was on a british kit car. There is a version of this car still in production but it doesn't use the same lights anymore.

[guido66]

Quantum?

[gilescooperuk]

Not that I am aware - if you have proof let me know. But it isn't the car I am looking for.

[gilescooperuk]

Oh well off to the black hole with this one.... (should I be pleased or sad that I have beaten everyone on here?)

[pnegyesi]

Tiger?

[gilescooperuk]

Not a Tiger - well certainly not any of them including my own... nor any other 7 types (that I am aware of)

Ah, just remembered that the TA Spirit, a British kit car of the 1980s used the Cortina IV rear lights!  Will send a photo as proof tomorrow.

[gilescooperuk]

You got it.....

I was beginning to think I had almost made an unsolvable puzzle

If you can attach a photo to the thread tomorrow that would be great as I am now away for a few days and haven't access to the original to scan until the end of the week.

Struggling to find a rear shot of the TA Spirit, but will continue to hunt and upload an image when  get one.

Just thought of another car that used Ford Cortina IV rear lights; the SEM Siaga (below), a 1990s British kit car based around a TVR M bodyshell.
