Cortina Perana from South Africa with Essex V6 engine. Produced by Basil Green.

Cortina Perana Mk 2
The first "official" car produced by Basil Green was the Cortina perana. It was sold by though Ford dealerships.. According to <<< link removed >>> the car was based on the Mk2 Ford Cortina GT. The drive train was up-rated using the Ford Zephyr 3 litre V6 (Essex) engine, Lotus Cortina gearbox and Salisbury differential.

The Cortina was a very good performer for its era:

Acceleration
0-60 MPH 8.6s

Top Speed
115 MPH

From this ad, it was only called "Ford Perana".
You didn't give us the year(1968 in my source), but since these cars didn't always undergo a yearly makeover, we'll do without.
