Haynes' drumming reached its first peak of influence through his loose beat and his crisp way of creating a dialogue with the soloist by deftly using a range of cymbals and drums.
Haynes has a unique degree of independent coordination of hands and feet, and the result was an extremely intricate way of swinging.

The formula used was a 4 cylinder pushrod (Over Head Valve) design that came to be known as the 'pre-crossflow' version as both inlet and exhaust ports were located on the same side of the head.
On the continent, the Taunus version was competing with more modern and practical designs like the Talbot Alpine, Citroën BX and Renault 20.
A locally designed pickup truck version (known in South African English as a 'bakkie') was also offered, and this remained in production after the Cortina was replaced by the Sierra.
