Summary

[edit]
Description

The Corsair was built from 1964-70. It replaced the Consul Classic range and was essentially a long wheelbase re-skinned Cortina (the windscreen and much of the internal panelling was the same). The Corsair had unusual and quite bold styling for its day, with a sharp horizontal V-shaped crease at the very front of the car into which round headlights were inset. This gave the car an apparently aerodynamic shape. The jet-like styling extended to the rear where sharply pointed vertical light clusters hinted at fins. The overall styling was shared with the early 1960s Ford Thunderbird. It was available in Standard and GT. Mainly in 2 and 4 door saloons and Estate, but Crayford Auto Developments in Kent, England built a convertible version. Initially with the 1498cc Kent engine in 1964, then the 1663cc Essex V4 in 1965 and the 1996cc Essex V4 in 1966. The 3.0 Essex V6 was another conversion done by Crayford Engineering.
