Ford's Consul, Zephyr and Zodiac models were heavily revamped and restyled for the 1956 model year, during which the engine capacity of the six-cylinder cars was increased to 2, 553cc
They were available with the choice of 3-speed manual gearbox and the option of overdrive or BorgWarner automatic transmission
Dating from 1959, this Kenilworth Blue example was imported from South Africa in 2019
It's fitted with the 86bhp, 2. 6-litre, straight-six coupled to a 3-speed, column-change gearbox
Supplied with a nice history file, some of which is from South Africa where it was believed to have been used as a wedding car
Having lived most of its life in a 'dry' country, the car appears remarkably sound and presents well apart from the chrome bumpers
Entered on a No Reserve basis, this classic 1950s Ford is sure to generate interest
