| A movie I saw a number of years ago called "Not without my daughter" featured a white base model (67 I think) Mk 2 Cortina 4 door. It was driven by an american woman who was trying to get out of Iran with her daughter. There were quite a few Cortinas seen in the movie. |

There was another one starring Micheal Pare,
I think it was called "The Soldier".It had a cabbie with
a Cortina throughout the movie.

Regarding Cortinas in Iran, it is hard to say for sure because the clips are so short, but those cars that look like Mk II Cortinas might be Paykans. For decades the Paykan, which was based on the Hillman Minx, was the most popular car in Iran.
That said, Ford UK did sell cars in Iran too.

Found the pics on imcdb.org
The Cortinas were used as a substitute for the Paycan as movie may not have been filmed in Iran. |

| This theory make a lot of sense. The movie was probably filmed in Moraco or another North African country. I guess there were not a lot of Hillmans to use on this location. |

Great video that there.
Since we are now adding music videos, in this video by U2 a Mk 2 Cortina can be seen in a few of the scenes.

From Ray McCaffery Sr
Here are the films in which I have enjoyed Euro/SoAfrican/Australian car/Ford watching:
"DANNY DECKCHAIR" from 2003/Australia. a comedy/romance. Ford police cars & others. lots of laughs w/a tender touch. yer wife might even enjoy it w/you!
"A WORLD APART" from 1988. set in So Africa in 1963....Barbara Hershey...lots of old US RHD models, along w/UK types too. political!
"CRY FREEDOM" 1987. set in So African Soweto revolt. KevinKline, Denzel Washington...strong political overtones!
"THE FOURTH PROTOCOL" 1987, British. Pierce Brosnan, Michael Kaine. villan drives XR3., lots of UK Fords in shots! a great cold war spy story, with STRONG nuclear overtones! I found it to be VERY exciting! I sure hope U can get yer hands on some/all of these flicks.....Cheers! Ray P. |
