Strangely, I much preferred the '53 MK1 Consul that I traded in for the seductive lines of the Zephyr. The Consul was much more solidly built, and was also used in many rallies, although the 3 speed box didn't help, but the engine was bullet proof. I loved that car, UWL 64 :y

This one is a consul 375-ome of the last as production ended April 1962 and mine-hvs 322 was registered in march 1962

and in this one you can see the legal requirement mirror  :D


And thank you for encouragement to get it done--so much harder than a miggy---parts wise that is
