1963 Ford Consul

The 1963 Ford Consul primarily refers to the Ford Consul Classic, which was in production from 1961 to 1963. This model is distinguished by its 1,498 cc engine, introduced in August 1962, which replaced the earlier 1,340 cc unit. This engine features a new five-bearing crankshaft, providing enhanced performance. The vehicle is equipped with a four-speed gearbox featuring synchromesh on all forward gears. Available in both two and four-door saloon forms, the Consul Classic offers Standard and De Luxe variants. Notable features include quad headlamps, variable speed windscreen wipers, and a spacious boot capacity. In terms of model codes, right-hand drive versions produced between 1962 and 1963 are designated as 116E. Additionally, if a coupé variant is referenced, it may relate to the Consul Capri, also produced during this period.
