About this car

This 1954 Ford Consul Mk1 has been rebuilt in the resto-mod style. The original car now carries a 2.0-litre Pinto engine paired with an automatic gearbox, a far more usable combination than the 1.5-litre four-cylinder and manual box it left the factory with.

The cabin has a new leather interior, carpets and headlining, and a pop-off stereo with remote is included. The dealer says the car has just been completed, with only a few minor jobs left to finish, and that the underside is as tidy as the top side.

On the paperwork side, it is registered with the DVLA as a historic vehicle, so it is exempt from road tax and MOT, and an approved engineer has inspected it. The V5 shows the last registered keeper since June 2010. An old-style V5 and some past MOTs are in the history folder. The odometer reads 9,662 miles.
