My dads mk1 consul

[jimrobson]

Im not quite sure if its classed as an old skool ford because its too old

 

But here are some pics of my dads 1955 ford consul mk1

Been in the family since new in 1955

1500cc engine, various small mods like overdrive braided brake lines etc.

Was bought by my dad in 1992 when his great uncle(the original owner) died.

Its was in fairly bad condition when he got it but soon got it fully restored and resprayed.

 

It has Only covered 38,812 miles from new

The other one is owned by a bloke we bumped into at a show when we were in the consul, he plans to restore it but its been off the road since about 1992 and i cant really see him doing it cos it looks like too much work.

Just to let you know, I saw VKL 27 today in Whitstable. She’s still going strong and looks immaculate

I cannot believe I'm seeing this! My dad owns the VKL30, has done since before I was born 34 years ago so this was my dad you met, Chip. He had it sat in his garage for years and since lockdown has started working on it again, it still runs very well and think there's only 38,000(ish) miles on the clock.
