Two classic Ford Consul Mk1s

1. Mk1 Consul convertible

Firstly, another period photograph from David, the rocking horse restoration guru (see Rocking Horse Sales & Restoration), this time showing a very rare Mk1 Consul soft-top.

This particular car was photographed in Gibraltar, some time in the 1950s. I am sure that very few of these Consuls were built, I wonder how many convertible variants survive now?? the climate in Gibraltar is probably more kind to old British metal than back home, so perhaps this Ford, registered as 15563, still lurks in a dusty barn awaiting a saviour.

2. A two-tone Ford Consul built in 1954.

Second photograph on this Consul page, was kindly sent over by JohnDale McAllister, and shows a 2 tone '54 Mk1 Consul parked at the kerbside. Registration number was HST 342, and this one had been upgraded with extra lamps, a matching pair of wing mirrors, and a 'leaper' on the bonnet - is that a Jaguar mascot?
