Mk3 Cortina question for the older Ford guys

[Clint]

Hi Guys,

I've been toying with the idea of doing up a 3lt Mk 3 Cortina bakkie as a daily driver & keep seeing 3 different grill / head light combinations. Does anyone remember what the differances were between the three? I'm guessing double round head light GT, rectangle head light Giha equivilant & single round head light base model? I'm assuming the grills & headlight combo's are all interchangeable. I think a double headlight GT bakkie would look the part!

as far as i know the early base models came out with the single round headlight first with a aliminium grill then later changed to a plastic grill, the double headlight was the GT version and the rectangular headlight was the XLE, I am under correction but they are interchangeable

The double round headlight(GT) version is the rarest of the bunch, in SA.

Totally correct based on what I know.
