The Appeal
After proving itself to be a particularly capable saloon and estate, Ford produced a convertible version of its Consul in 1953. It was built by Carbodies in Coventry, and to make up for the lack of roof, an X-frame was welded into the floor plan.
This 1955 example is utterly superb in every way. Following extensive restoration, it received a 5-star review from the Ford Motor Club in 2004, and has only covered 12,000 miles since. As the photographs show, it has been meticulously kept, presenting impeccably throughout. There's a detailed restoration record with invoices and photographs for the new owner to pour over,
We're assured that the car drives brilliantly and is ready to enjoy.image.png3.39 MB
