Very good handling cars for their time and the 1st car to have mcPherson Strut suspension.

I had one of the same model. This was during during the late 1960's and it had about seven previous owners. It was built like a tank. We used to visit air shows and six of us would sit on the roof without denting it.

Perfect car for going into battle then 😀👍

These were rock-bottom cheap in the sixties - though that one looks a bit better than average.

In 1952, my grandfather bought to my mother a Zephyr sedan MK I green colour. The same colour of the Consul on this movie. With my 14/15 years I learned to drive in this car. Fabulous car. The Zephyr still with us (in Portugal)

Hi .. This clip was taken from a British TV series called The Baron from the 1960's. You can now buy the complete box set. Plenty of info if you do a google search.

Wow. Amazing. A steering wheel that changes from black to white and chrome side trim that's there one second and gone the next

[@robbierobson3251]

Yes, they clearly use two different cars. At 2.38, they change from an earlier Consul, with trafficators and no chrome waist trims, to a slightly later one (in worse condition), which is the one which goes up in flames. There is also a noticeable difference between the colour of the two cars. As the owner of two Mk1 Consuls, this is tough viewing for me!

Why do cars that are set fire 🔥 to in films always explode

What's this from

[@timpriddy349]

The tire has air while he swerves???

[@drcurv]

LOL. 10 Bob for a telegram, but the address she gave is so vague as to be practically useless. Pity the poor telegraph boy trying to find a Mr John Mainwaring on Park St, Mayfair. Best of luck, lad!
