The Ford Consul Classic was a daringly-styled car from the early 1960s which used the same 'reverse rake' rear window as the popular Ford Anglia. This look did not translate well to the larger car, and the Classic did not enjoy the same commercial success. It was also prone to rust, so these cars are a rare sight today.
The Corgi model is in beige with salmon pink roof and yellow interior. The shaped spun hubs have black tyres. This model has a particularly nice opening bonnet (hood): it lifts slightly when you press down on the front suspension, allowing it to be lifted by hand. It also as a spring mechanism which 'locks' it in the open position. The detailed engine is finished in silver.
This example has some fairly heavy chipping, particularly on the roof and front wings. The tyres are original and one of them has a flat spot and cracks.
