Lot 20
A 1955 Ford Consul DeLuxe Mk I convertible, registration number EKS 654, chassis number E0TA168800, black. In current ownership since 1960, this now extremely rare (believed to be one of only 25 survivors) Ford convertible was originally purchased by Tweeddale Motors Kelso and was registered on 5th May 1955. There would be four owners prior to our vendor purchasing the Consul from Bass Rock Garage in 1960 for £430. Finished in black with a dark red leather interior and maroon hydroelectric hood which lowers the top from the coupé de ville position. In our vendors ownership the Consul was used as daily transport (always garaged) until 1970 including a stint of work delivering the post during the 1971 postal strike where it became the second car to a Wolseley 110 and had a more sedate life. The Consul has been well maintained over the last 58 years with repairs being carried out as necessary including the installation of a new old stock engine in 1981 (approximately 25, 000 miles ago), new Wilton carpets and chassis repairs. The Consul will be offered for auction with a comprehensive history file and some spares and offers the opportunity to purchase a very rare Ford. RF60, V5, V5C, MOT and tax exempt.
£9000-11000 + 13. 2% Buyers premium (including 20% VAT)
