Front disc brakes with a vacuum servo were made standard in 1961 • Convertible versions of the Consul and Zephyr were coachbuilt by Carbodies Ltd., the company that went on to build the iconic London Taxi • Finished in Monaco Red with a grey interior this appears to be an older restoration completed to a good, useable standard • The power roof appears to be in excellent working condition • Supplied with a Ford Consul service manual and its original handbook • Ready to be used and enjoyed as is, or it wouldn’t need much to take it to the next level Lot Details Reg: 607 BCR Chassis no.: 204E55473 Mileage: 29,568 MOT expiry: Exempt Consignor: Charles Smalley Telephone No: 07421 007866 Vendor Condition Report: Overall: 84/135 «««¶¶ More Details Lot 326 Bid On Lot 326
