Based on the chassis of the earlier coupé and Ogle Design GTS estate car experiment, the four-seater GTE SE5 came with either 2.5 or 3.0L engines. The 3.0L engine, which gave this model a top speed of over 120 mph (193 km/h), was more popular, and the 2.5L version was later dropped. A Borg-Warner automatic transmission was added as an option in 1970 and by 1971, overdrive on the 4-speed manual was offered. In 1972, several improvements were included in the upgrade to SE5A such as a boost in power. The extra 7 hp (5 kW) and maximum engine speed raised performance quite a bit and the GTE was now capable of 0-60 mph (100 km/h) in 9.3 seconds and top speed was raised by 6 mph (10 km/h). The SE5's flat dash also gave way to a poor quality curved, moulded plastic one. Around 4311 SE5s were produced. 1968 (MCMLXVIII) was a leap year starting on Monday (the link is to a full 1968 calendar). ...

More of a luxury model than the SE5, the SE6 series was promoted at the executive market. These models were two-door sports estates, again with the Ford V6 3.0L engine, and were a few inches longer and wider than their predecessor. The SE6 had some quality issues and was soon replaced by the SE6A. About 543 SE6 models were produced. 1975 (MCMLXXV) was a common year starting on Wednesday (the link is to a full 1975 calendar). ...
This page refers to the year 1979. ...
The SE6A displayed a number of improvements, including better quality, brakes and road-holding. There was also the option of power steering. Some 3,877 SE6As were made.
Ford had stopped making the 'Essex' engine by 1979, which was one of the major differences with the SE6B. The Cologne 2.8L V6 was used instead which provided similar power but much less torque. The final drive ratio was changed to compensate. Less than 500 SE6Bs were made.

Aiming to fill a gap in the small sports car market, the Michelotti-designed SS1 was launched in 1984. The chassis was inspired by the Lotus Elan. 1300 and 1600 cc Ford engines were used, and later the Nissan 1800 cc Turbo engine. The car never met the sales targets and only 1500 were produced. 1984 (MCMLXXXIV) was a leap year starting on Sunday of the Gregorian calendar. ...
