So, it's the prototype for: depending on what side of the channel you are the new Ford Taunus TC3 2 door (Continental Europe) or new Ford Cortina Mk4 2 door(UK).

Yes, I thought the picture was taken in the UK so it was the Cortina Mk4, but it might indeed have been taken in Germany (note it's LHD).
Well done.

Had to be a prototype, as the production cars had a different bonnet that streched to the edge & grill.
