Ford Classic
|
The Ford Consul Classic or '315 Consul' was a mid-sized car built by Ford in the UK from 1961 to 1964.
It was similar in appearance to the more popular Ford Anglia, featuring the distinctive reverse-rake rear windsceen. The Consul Classic was also mechanically similar to the Anglia, and used slightly larger 1340cc and 1500cc variants of the Ford Kent Engine.
Based on the same model was a coupe version - the Consul Capri 335.
The Consul Classic was replaced in 1963 with the Ford Corsair. 128,206 Classics and Capris were produced.
The Consul Classic was the first car of Beatle Paul McCartney.
