Ford Consul Classic 315
The Ford Consul Classic started to be designed in 1956, Colin Neale heading a team that took elements from Dearborn's Galaxie and Lincoln models. Launched in 1961 with a 1340cc version of the Anglia 4-cylinder engine, this was upgraded to 1498cc in 1962. Advanced engineering gave the Classic front wheel discs and Macpherson strut suspension. The Ford Consul Classic was launched in 2-door and 4-door versions, and some cars were converted into estate cars by ED Abbotts of Farnham.

Ford Consul Classic 315. With several 'transatlantic' cues, the Ford Consul Classic appeared to be product of American Ford, but apparently it was an all British design.
Ford Consul Classic 4dr front
Ford Consul Classic 315 (109E). Borrowing the name 'Consul' because the MkIII Consul was due to be called 'Zephyr 4', Ford's mid range Classic was launched with a 1340cc engine and later given a 1498cc engine (as the 116E)

 Ford Consul Classic 4dr rear
Ford Consul Classic 315 (109E). Designed to bridge the gap between Anglia and Zephyr, the Ford Consul Classic was styled by Colin Neale who denies the influence of Dearborn on the design and attributes the reverse slope rear window to a Pininfarina coupe.

The Transatlantic styling was not liked by the British public, and as might be guessed by this view it was difficult and expensive to make.
Ford took all the best bits and put them into a car that was easier to produce; the Ford Cortina was born.
