context_page_description: The Ford Taunus TC is a range of large family cars that were built by Ford Germany from 1970 until 1982. The Taunus TC was based on the same basic construction as the Ford UK's Cortina range, with the "TC" badge standing for Taunus Cortina.
context_section_description: In 1984 the Argentinian Taunus production line was sold to Otosan in Turkey where the manufacture of the Otosan Taunus now took place. The Otosan factory also came to take over the tools for manufacturing the previously South African-built Cortina Mk V-based Ford P100 pick-up truck, although Otosan did not use the South African load-bed structure, preferring their own design which featured foldable sides (reminiscent of the Peugeot U10). The Otosan Taunus was also differentiated from Taunus TC3s previously built in Europe and Argentina by its distinctive sculpted front panel with rectangular or dual square headlights and a colour matched grille.
