⭕ VEHICLE SUMMARY

One of the prettiest Fords ever to have been produced in the UK.

When new, the Consul Capri provided British buyers with genuine glamour and glitz; an American inspired car with a package suited for those who wished to turn heads, on a manageable scale and with the dependability of well-proven mechanics. Released in 1962, the Consul Capri was placed in the Ford lineup as a stylish and compact car, with genuine exclusivity. Sadly, the fast-paced changing fads of 1960s car styling were unkind to the Consul Classic, as the car, with its flamboyant fins, heavy chrome trim and curved screens, looked passé by the end of the decade, but the Consul Capri's snapshot of the jet era looks positively stunning today.

One of the other criticisms was the mediocre power, the Consul Capri was really built for modest cruising and being admired and some felt the original engines were not quick enough. However, this 1963 example has been retrofitted with a rebuilt Crossflow 1.6-litre from a Ford Escort, which goes some way to address that original drawback. Finished in Ermine White, the car has had an extensive body restoration, and even more strikingly, been furnished with a tastefully prepared turquoise and white interior, echoing the flamboyancy of its US influences.

Coming to market after ~4 and a half years with our vendor, it has much of the exterior and interior completed including a total re-wiring, the car needs attention mainly to the braking and a few minor cosmetic items. As a result, it is being sold as a project and would be suitable for someone looking for a mechanical / electrical project appeal.
