Corsair fact I didn't know!

[Vista]

Ford Corsair 1963-1970: Taking styling cues from the American Ford Thunderbird, the Corsair was a bold design. In 1964 a Corsair GT set 15 world speed records at Monza by averaging over 90mph for 15,000 miles, yet the car is now largely forgotten.

 

 

I've got to no 29 of 50 in MSN's list of top 50 classic cars, so far there's been two OSF's in it, there'd better be a few more!

Edit: this article has just gone out of favour!!!

 

Hillman Avenger 1970-1976: When it came to unexceptional family transport in the early Seventies, nobody did it more anonymously than Hillman. Still, it was no more dull than the Marina, Escort or Viva, which were all as tedious as each other.

I had a Crayford convertible Corsair (known as a pubic) in the eighties I paid silly money for it then. It had a v4 essex and an auto box, white walls and chrome smoothy wheels. People kept asking me where my girls worked????
