Hi John,
You probably need to reduce the resolution. Try using Irfanview. It's excellent freeware.

That is a lovely looking car and so practical.
Has it had much work or is it original?

Very nice and very rare. Congratulations.
I don't remember seeing many Corsair estates even when they were current or contemporary.
Exactly which model is it? I am noticing the absence of the central armrest/cubby box and the centre console mounted clock. _________________ Starting Handle Expert

Hi Kevin,Ellis. The car has been totally restored bodywise but there are things to do mechanically. The model is Corsair V4 2.0L Deluxe. I have been told there are 20 worldwide(conditions unknown) but only 5 registered in the Abbotts Register.(Found the last bit on line - Register not club)
Thanks for the interest,cheers,JD _________________ 1958 Ford Zephyr Mk2 Convertible

I think I've written previously about the only company representative who used to call on my father who drove a Ford Corsair was the one from Elastoplast.
A friend of my parents used to have a new light blue 1.6 Corsair, KUN 670F in 1967.
It's a model I have always admired. Rarer than a Cortina and with a lot more style.
Was it meant to be the UK equivalent of the Ford Thunderbird sedan or was that the Consul Classic and Capri? _________________ Starting Handle Expert
