Description

Highlights

fully restored

reliable driver

technically top

With the Taunus P3, Ford left behind the trapezoidal lines of its predecessor model, the P2. The car had neither tail fins nor excessive chrome ornamentation and had a more European appearance.

It not only looked more functional, but was also much more economical and practical than its predecessor. The modified body shape resulted in 20% lower fuel consumption at higher speeds as well as better acceleration values and a higher top speed.

History

The current owner acquired the Taunus from a coachbuilder around 12 years ago.

The technology, underbody sealing and interior were completed by the current owner.

He himself only drove the P3 with red license plates and never registered it. There is no expert opinion and no H registration. However, the assessment of the chassis, steering, brakes, engine and gearbox as well as the body apparently show no difficulties in obtaining a Tüv and also the H license plate.

Market classification and price

Well-preserved or professionally restored examples are a real rarity today. Market prices have developed accordingly—vehicles in convincing condition now regularly fetch well over €20,000. Quality, substance, and originality are valued more than ever.

Conclusion

The Taunus 17M P3 sedan offered here is one of the few remaining and, above all, solidly restored vehicles of its kind. It impresses with its honest base and well-maintained overall appearance. With manageable restoration work—such as an oil change, fresh brake fluid, and a few minor adjustments—this elegant sedan is ready for new adventures: be it a stylish family outing or a relaxed cruise through the countryside.

Place your bid and secure the opportunity to purchase an exceptionally beautiful Taunus—a classic with character that combines driving pleasure and nostalgia in a special way.
