Ford 12M

Ford 12M, a photo by Vespamore ! on Flickr.

Saw this nice 1967/68 (I think) Ford 12M while camping in North Devon in June. The young German couple whose car it was were touring the South West of England in it - cool way to travel I reckon.

The 12M was an early member of the Ford Taunus family, so I was told by owner Gunar Muller & was not sold in the UK. Gunar has written about his tour of South West England in his blog here ... http://bavarianbugboys.blogspot.com/2011/06/uk-review.html

Did not have my OM10 with me unfortunately, so took these shots on a digital camera.
