The car is described as driving remarkably well and mechanically sound with a comfortable and composed ride. The interior is spacious and presents reasonably well overall, with the main cosmetic imperfection being a noticeable repair patch on the driver's seat. The exterior exhibits age-related cosmetic signs, particularly in the paint finish which shows light blistering, chips, and scratches. The chrome brightwork also has some light pitting.

Description
A wonderfully characterful Ford Consul Mk1 that drives remarkably well for a car built more than 70 years ago.
The Ford is fitted with cream-painted steel wheels, accompanied by chrome Ford hubcaps.
The wheels retain the simple and understated appearance appropriate for the car.
Some light corrosion and age-related marks are visible upon closer inspection.

Please take time to review the photos and videos for a detailed view of the exterior, wheels, and tyres so you can make your own assessment of their condition.

The four-door saloon body appears straight and presents well overall.
