For South Africa, the Cortina could be specified as a pick-up truck with Essex V6 3.0-litre engine - an option not available in Europe.

This 1978 example was imported from South Africa into the UK and registered here in December 2023.

Its odometer shows 48,765km (30,301 miles) and while there's no MoT, the Cortina is now classed as an historic vehicle and so MoT-exempt.

It comes with its V5C, UK registration correspondence (for numberplate XUX 564S), NOVA authorisation, shipping invoice and Republic of South Africa registration document and bill for a new battery dated December 2023.

There's also spare keys as well.
