The Cortina was also sold in other right hand drive markets such as Ireland where it was assembled locally, Australia, New Zealand, Indonesia, Malaysia, Singapore, Thailand (local production 1961-76 as a joint venture with Anglo-Thai Motor Company, Ford's import distributor), Malta and South Africa. Mark III Cortina estates were adopted as police cars in Hong Kong. The Cortina was also assembled in left hand drive in the Philippines, in South Korea (by Hyundai as its very first model), and in Taiwan (by Ford Lio Ho) until the early 1980s.
