Saw the red Ford ****** 2.0 GL again today.

Here is some info on it.

New Zealand[edit]

Ford ****** MK I van
Ford New Zealand's Seaview plant in Lower Hutt built 1.1 and 1.3-litre versions, initially as Deluxe (1.1) and Super (1.3) two-door sedans plus panel vans. The four-door sedan was added in 1970. Trim levels were revised after the 1972 UK facelift with just one run of 1.3XLs (with the GT instrument pack) before these were downgraded to 'L' trim. Base and L trims were offered to the end of the Mk I run. Some 1.6 Mexicos were imported in 1973–74 after the government temporarily freed up import licensing owing to a shortage of new cars. Estate versions were mostly imported.

Australia[edit]
The Mk I was produced by Ford Australia from 1970 to 1975 as a two- or four-door saloon and as a two-door panel van.[17] 1100 cc and 1300 cc engines were offered, as was the 1558 cc twin cam unit.,[17] the last only in the ****** Twin Cam model, which was renamed the ****** GT 1600 in late 1971.[18] Some 67,146 examples of the Mk I were built in Australia,[17] with local sourcing bringing the Australian content of the vehicles to 85 per cent.[19]
