Ford Taunus GT from Argentina, 1981?

[Carnut]

Welcome to AutoPuzzles alltag.
Yes, it is.
So the puzzle is locked for you to complete its full name.
I had the date as a bit later but maybe that only referred to the car in the photo and not when the model first appeared..
Hopefully you're on your way to your first point!

Thank you very much for the friendly welcome.

In my opinion, the picture shows a Ford Taunus Coupé.
Manufactured by Ford Argentina, first time for the model year 1981.
It is based on the German Ford Taunus or British Ford Cortina.

In Europe you could not buy the coupé but only the sedan and the station wagon (called Turnier).

In Argentina there was the 4-door sedan and the coupé.
Engines: 2.0 l with 68 kW, 2.3 l with 90 or 97 kW.
Versions: L, Ghia, GT, SP

[Carnut]

All correct!
The car pictured is one of the versions, most of which you have itemised.
Which one?

[alltag]

SP

[Carnut]

Yes, I'll accept that.
Actually it's an SP5 but that only means it's an SP with 5-speed gearbox instead of 4.
You've earned your first point!
Well done.
