and another one:

 

 

 

If that's a Ghia with the tobacco interior I'd be interested in a few bits. Carpet, passenger seat and door card. Also passenger front window regulater.

Back lamps if they are Hella units.

 

Seems a shame to break what looks like a good car.

yep it looks like a GHIA to me. not sure if the car still exists, as pic is from 2016 and i just found it while searching for Taunus without front wings. as far as i can see, it´s from a belgian guyon his flickr account:

Someone has recently posted a mk4 on Facebook for breaking. I am not "up" enough on cortinas to say if it's the tobacco interior you're after, but it looked like that sort of thing 

 

Marlboro man in his element!! Tobacco vinyl roof if you wished as well!!

Smokin'!!!

Back in the late 80's (dinosaurs hadn't been extinct for long) I made a matching cut out on the opposite side ( fuel tank was a MK1 Capri item under rear shelf) so I could fit a slightly modded MK3 Capri system to match the 3.0 V6 I'd fitted.

I hadn't thought of re-siting the tank, but I want to LPG it at some point so that will probably go where your capri tank went.

 

Using a carboard template, these should fit OK side-by-side. I didn't think I needed a cat on a '79 car, but the guy in the shop insisted...

 

 

 

Fit that cat and the animal rights mob will be onto you.

Be purrrrfect.

Yep similar idea did that on MK3 facelift V6.
