    hey all,
    ive recently found a Ford Consul for sale - decent price and driving - its late 50`s early 60`s.
    its also a bit of a do-er upper.

    ive scoured the net for info on it but no joy.
    Anyone got any advice?
    this will be my first classic, but ive a good idea what i`m at !

    thanks.

    I'd have search on ebay for a haynes manual for it and then you can check out the mechanicals etc of what you are buying...

    would you believe, you can still buy all the parts for the consul brand new. from austrailia. very easy to buy and ship back here.
