I'm not sure about the origins of the windscreen, but an Escort is not the mechanical base.

More recent than a Corsair (and Taunus, Cortina, Capri...)

If it's not a Zodiac then maybe it's a Scorpio?

Yes, a Ford Scorpio is the base, worryingly with a 3-litre V6 engine!  Now all I need is the name of this stange car's creator, so locked to you until your next reply.

Forgive the leap-in while locked, but I do know this one - and it's NOT based on a Scorpio...

I think it would be wise now to wait until the base car is established........ :-\

Would it help if I said that, as far as my info goes, Wendax is right - it's Sierra based?

Ah ha, just goes to show that you can't believe all you read!  This car was advertised using Sierra 4x4 running gear, but I have spoken to the builder, and it does in fact use a Scorpio 4x4 as its mechanical base.  So, who made this thrilling machine for a point?
