This scrap is a rare find. going to hang onto it for a bit.

51 Ford Consul. It was made in England. Its original parts are all there. The floor is a bit soft. we brought it home to sell it. If anyone is interested in purchasing the car get hold of me at [e-mail]

[@robbierobson3251]

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.

I love the video and have to say that there is no way my wife would do what you’re doing and you have my respect and admiration!😉 hello from the Oregon coast!👋

I have a love for older coins and bet it’s fun cleaning out old cars.😁

[@redneckpensioners194]

Sometimes, I have the time to clean them out, but mostly, the scrap yard does all the clean outs.

How cool its always good to find a car from the past and save it lucky you guys and gals

[@Ron-io3vu]

Looks in great shape, still plenty of these here in 🇬🇧 but most are rotten

[@North49191]

this one is rotten too, not worth anything here, even as a parts car as nobody has one.

[@LoudPedal66]

Really cool car! Good job guys. We are interested. ❤

[@redneckpensioners194]

Thank you 🤗

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. 😊

[@jimbilton1956]

Great! My uncle had the Zephyr 6 version. It was a super old car. Went like the wind! Vacuum operated windscreen wipers.

[@peterward3965]

@@jimbilton1956 The faster you drove the slower the wipers performed, is that correct? And vice versa. Those were the days

[@jimbilton1956]

@@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..

[@gordonwebster3809]

remember these as a boy i am 72 now in north east england great old motor.

[@redneckpensioners194]

This was the 1st one that either of us had ever seen or heard of, and we are both not that far from being 70

[@TUMBLINJEST]

@@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..

[@jimbilton1956]

I've just discovered your channel, and I love it. Old folk are wonderful , and precious. I'm almost one myself.

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.

[@redneckpensioners194]

We are Canadians. We live in BC

What a cool find!

Yes, it is.

[@richardcline1337]

Reminds me a lot of my old '58 E100 Anglia. Same color.

[@davidmarshall5603]

The 100e was similar to the consul, which was the prefect and popular. The anglia was 105e .

[@mrblobby8965]

​@davidmarshall5603 had a few of these including the 300e van .the 105e was a different shape

[@robertlyman9789]

[@user-pe8ce7kg5n]

Be Surprised if the Underside of the Car isn't Rusted out Bad being Parked on Grass and covered by Trees and all that Moisture around.......gonna need a Lot of New Metal /Welding........

[@user-lq2zl1ks8x]

It doesn't mater if it's rotting everything can be cut onto an welded back as new after a clean an a bit time firest see if the engine turns then do the body working been doing these cars for thirty years everything can be fixed over time

That hood looks to be a 1955 -1957 chevy $200 +

[@mauriceeley621]

A MK1 Consul was my second car£50 here in the UK

[@Philobeddoe12]

The loading up of that car was like watching paint dry.

[@redneckpensioners194]

The beauty of watching paint dry is you can leave it and it will be dry when you come back to it.

[@redneckpensioners194]

Thanks. The dust cover got pulled off in one of the tight spots we were in. Replaced it and then found the old one.

[@michaelnaisbitt7926]

Wouldn't the caravan bring more money that the old hotspots of a Consul Ibet the entire floor is rusted out as they were made of thin steel

[@redneckpensioners194]

The caravan was rotted out, but it seems that only the back seat floor on the Consul was rusted out. All body panels were in solid shape.

[@karensavarese5684]

Those are rare, especially nowadays, in the US. Its a early one. If its got a title, could be a interesting project for someone. Maybe a will it run, and/or power wash vid for you guys?,,,Love,,,DUBS,,,,

[@redneckpensioners194]

With a lot of cleanups, we do the papers for these are long gone. These vehicles have been sitting for 40+ years.

[@cdwwillow9671]

Mark one zephyr was same only 6 cylinders

[@laurenceplumley433]

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).”

[@ernielaw]

I believe 1951 was the first year for the Consul and they were produced throughout the 50's. How did you find out that one was a '51?

[@redneckpensioners194]

Owner's daughter told us what year it was.

[@trevorchambers1812]

@@redneckpensioners194 Has it a flat dashboard or does the speedo sit in a pod mounted to the facia? The grille badge looks to be the remains of the ones fitted to later Consuls. Actual flatdahs '51s are pretty rare cars.
