The Appeal
The Ford Consul Cortina is one of the most iconic British saloons of the 1960s, a car that helped define an era of accessible, enjoyable motoring. This particular Cortina has reportedly benefited from an extensive mechanical overhaul, including work on the engine, steering, suspension, brakes, and rear differential. Further refreshments are said to include new tyres, a new battery, new filters, a new starter motor, fresh gaiters, a boot seal, and new windscreen wipers. Inside, the interior has been refurbished with new carpet.
Far from being a fair-weather garage ornament, this is a Cortina that earns its keep; its current owner uses it every day and reports attracting waves and toots from admirers on the road. The vendor notes the paintwork could benefit from a polish and minor touch-up in due course, but describes the overall cosmetic condition as very good, with the chromework also presenting well.1964-ford-consul-cortina-69bea1b27991b-Rachael-Langley.webp243.98 KBKey Information
