A 1976 Mk II? Now that would be a find!

In addition to the Cortina (Mk II, III, IV and V), Hyundai also built the Ford 20M followed by the Mk II Granada.

In this late 70's picture from Seoul, you can see several Mk II Granada, a 20M, a Mk III Cortina and a Mk IV.

Here is a Korean Mk IV. The Mk III's has some unique styling, but I can't find a good picture of one just now.

The Hyundai Pony was sold here in Holland also , they where terible rustbuckets !
They where low priced when new and worthless after a few years ....
I Always thought it was a Hyundai body , front and rear suspention Escort MK2 , Escort MK2 rimms and a Mazda engine . ( The engine i am not 100% shure )
Mazda engine was somhow logic as there is a link between Ford and Mazda .
Stellar had for some years the suspention of the TC models .
When i remember well the TC line was build at Hyundai untill the 90ties While the last TC was sold here in 1983 .
I like the Seoul picture , the green taxi next to the Granada is a Mazda 1300 , we own a 2 door version .

Here is a link to a Mk III Cortina literature collection, two of the items are unique Korean Cortinas. Click on "Alba".
