Description from the seller
HIGHLIGHTS:
• Rare Ford Taunus 17M Super trim with the iconic V4 engine
• Nearly completely original and unaltered interior with renewed headlining
• Made technically drivable with recently renewed ignition, spark plugs and gaskets
• Equipped with valid, complete papers and 2 keys
HISTORY/OVERVIEW:
The Ford Taunus 17M (P5 generation), produced in the mid-1960s, is known for its streamlined design and innovative technology for the time. The "Super" trim combined with the compact V4 engine formed a rare and sought-after combination within the Taunus family. This 1965 example has stood dry-stored for many years as a restoration project. Early 2025 the car was acquired and the seller has technically brought it back to running and functional condition while preserving its authentic character.
BODYWORK/PAINT:
The exterior is approximately 90% original. The body shows rust in several places and has in the past been touch-painted on parts, which gives the car a unique and characterful patina. Many of the chrome trim pieces are still in good condition. The chassis is fully original and has some rust spots. The original wheels are present.
INTERIOR:
The interior is almost completely original and unrestored. The seats and the rear bench are in very nicely preserved condition. The original dashboard is complete and untouched. The headlining has already been renewed and fits tightly and neatly.
ENGINE AND TECHNICAL:
Under the hood sits the original V4 combustion engine. The engine has recently been equipped with a new ignition, new spark plugs and various new gaskets. Additionally, a refurbished alternator and a new battery have been installed. The engine starts directly and runs very well. The car drives, brakes and shifts as it should.
DOCUMENTS:
The car comes with valid, complete registration documents and has 2 original keys.

Catawiki always aims to offer you the best possible buying experience. Our experts virtually review and select every vehicle in line with our submission guidelines and we require our sellers to provide the most accurate description of the vehicle. However, providing a fully detailed analysis of the vehicle is extremely difficult, and close to impossible. To guide you, we ask our sellers to provide information about the vehicle’s condition. Please consider that most vehicles for sale are classic vehicles and they often already have a whole life behind them, meaning that even a condition 1 or 2 vehicle might need maintenance to be ready for the road. It is advised to carefully read our submission guidelines that further describe details about the condition grades and types to manage your expectations. Cars are sold “as is”, meaning as described and in the condition they are in at the time of the sale and without any representation, warranty or assumption of liability of any kind as to the condition by Catawiki or by the seller. The condition of this item is the opinion of the seller and may differ from yours, your local garage, or the dealer’s opinion. This does not automatically mean the car does not conform to its description. Before bidding, please check your local legislation regarding vehicle registration. Neither the seller nor Catawiki is responsible for the registration of the vehicle in your country and will not accept a cancellation for your failure to register the vehicle. We also recommend that, if possible, you arrange a viewing with the seller before placing a bid.
