Interesting to note that this car has the early front bumper, but the later (September 1953 onward) rear bumper. It does have the "trafficator" indicators, but the slightly later, larger grille badge, so it is less likely to be a "flatdash" as it would be if made in 1951, unless later parts have been added, which is perfectly possible. If you can post the chassis number, starting with an EOTAL prefix, then I can give you a much more accurate build date.

Brings back memories, my uncle George owned a MK 1 Consul in the late 1960s. His was hand painted light blue, as folk did back then. I remember it being a comfy old car. Then off it went for banger racing and he purchased a Ford Corsair. 😊

@@peterward3965 Yes, that's right! Going up hills, or on a wide throttle setting, the engine intake vacuum diminished, and the wipers almost came to a stand still! But go DOWN a hill, on a trailing throttle, the wipers were almost a blur on the screen! Several Fords of that era used vacuum operated wipers. Yes, those were the days of characterful cars..

@@redneckpensioners194 Hi, I am 76 now, but at 17 years old it is when we apply for a driving license here In GB, . I passed my drivers test and my first car was a MK1 Consul Convertible that I hand painted bright red. My next car was still a MK1 Zephyr Zodiac but It had a longer front clip with a 6 pot engine and very modern for its time, a push button starter. - lol The seats were more plush. I then bought the next generation of Zephyrs a MK2 Convertible that I ended up building into a hot rod. I wish now I still had any of my earlier years cars now..

I was wondering if you were Canadians, so the sight of a Mk1 Consul confirmed it. My parents had one when I was about 3 or 4 years old. British racing green with tan upholstery. Dad did his own oil changes and routine servicing and I still remember him washing out the oil bath aircleaner and so on. The Sills rotted out and by 1960 the family car was a Mk11 Consul. The Consul, Zephyr and Prefects were the first cars to have mcPherson Strut front suspension.

No…. The Zephyr was slightly longer…… Wiki says this, “The first of the Zephyr range was a lengthened version of the four-cylinder 1,508 cc (92 cu in) Consul, with a 2,262 cc (138 cu in) six-cylinder engine producing 68 bhp (51 kW). Like the Consul, the Zephyr came with a three-speed gearbox, controlled by a column-mounted lever (three-on-the-tree).”
