“Philomena” – A Rare, Cherished & Beautifully Presented 1960s German Ford
Offered for sale is my much-loved and increasingly rare 1964 Ford Taunus 12M P4, affectionately known as “Philomena” — a truly charming, beautifully presented and highly documented example of this distinctive German-built Ford.
This is not simply another classic car; it is a known, cherished and extensively documented example, having been featured in a Ford magazine and proudly displayed at the prestigious NEC Classic Motor Show — a reflection of both the quality of the vehicle and the enthusiasm it generates wherever it goes.
Finished in a timeless beige, “Philomena” presents beautifully throughout with excellent paintwork and an interior that is exceptionally well preserved and presents virtually as new. It is a car that constantly attracts attention and starts conversations, whether at shows, events or simply parked up for coffee on a sunny day.
Mechanically, the car is exactly as you would hope — it starts on the button, drives beautifully and has clearly been cherished. One of its most delightful and characterful features is the wonderful “4-on-the-column” gear change, a true talking point and a lovely reminder of a more elegant era of motoring.
Powered by the charming 1183cc petrol engine paired to a 4-speed manual gearbox, it offers wonderfully simple, enjoyable and honest classic motoring that feels refreshingly different from the more common classics of the period.

* Original manuals
