The Ford P100 is a car-based pickup truck that was built by Ford from 1971 to 1995, initially in South Africa, and later Portugal. It was based on medium-sized Ford passenger cars, originally the Cortina/Taunus and from 1988 the Ford Sierra. Initially marketed as the Ford Cortina Pickup,[1] the P100 name was adopted in 1982.[3] The P-100 name had previously been used on a small North American panel van in the 1960s.
