In the 12th edition of Oldtimer Markt, we learn interesting facts about the Ford Taunus P2 and P3, the Alfa Romeo Nuova Giulietta, the Renault 4 CV, Auto e Moto d'Epoca and much more. There are also stories about Carsten Müller, the Tour de Corse and a trip to the North Cape.
Ford step - Ford Taunus P2 and P3
With the Taunus 17M of the P2 series, Ford took a big step forward with a lot of chrome and self-confidence - and very successfully. But it was precisely this ephemeral beauty that proved to be the Cologne car's undoing...
Hot tail: The Nuova Giulietta from Alfa Romeo turns 40!
Giulietta was followed by Giulia, then Giulia was followed by Giulietta again, which was more of an Alfetta under the angular sheet metal. Confusing? On the road in the confusion of Alfa's model policy and a long misunderstood car that was belatedly perceived as a design milestone.
Sweet slice: The Renault 4 CV appeared 70 years ago - without an expiry date

Rally Corsica? No, Tour de Corse! A sporty ride across the island
When you say Rally Corsica, you mean Tour de Corse. The challenging asphalt rally is only known to a few in this country under its real name. Oldtimer Markt visited the historic edition of the French world championship race and took a seat in the lead car next to Gérard Larrousse, the 1969 winner.
North Cape journey: 10,000 kilometers of life and suffering in the Rush cockpit
