Let's use this for the "white" one, which is probably yellow. A copy can be added for the next one up the line. -- Last edit: 2010-03-16 20:09:22 |

The light coloured one is another Ford Consul Corsair. |

On its left, a Mk.I Escort 4-door; on its right, a Cortina Mk.II. BTW I've never seen a yellow Corsair; my guess is light grey. -- Last edit: 2010-03-16 20:30:31 |

The Matchbox version was yellow (with a green boot on top of the roof)...![[Image: 2corsair45.26.jpg]](http://pics.imcdb.org/0is94/2corsair45.26.jpg) -- Last edit: 2010-03-16 20:33:46 |

How odd for something so uncommon on this site to turn up so often in one scene. |

It is strange; IIRC the Corsair was never a very big seller. The styling, based loosely on the US Thunderbird, was an acquired taste; the model fell uncomfortably between the Cortina and the Zephyr 4 and was too close to both; and the V4 engine it acquired after a year or so was rather rough. |

In Norway, the Corsair had acceptable sales, but still, the most sold car in 1965 was the Cortina, but as soon as the MkIII arrived, sales started to drop, mostly because of favour for the Taunus TC1. I find the Corsair and the Anglia the most attractive British sedans of the 1960's. |

@Skywatcher68: Some of them are called Consul Corsairs, some simply Corsairs. There are about two and a half pages of them in total. @Lateef: I've owned neither a Corsair nor an Anglia, but I've driven both. IMHO the Corsair was too light at the back; the one I drove (my uncle's) was an automatic, and when I kicked down to take a corner it fishtailed quite badly. As for the Anglia, the 1200 I hired in Ireland was quite fun but at 178cm I was slightly too tall for it. |

Total production of all Corsairs, either with Kent or Essex engines was about 293,000. Rare it wasn't. |
