My Father had a 2000E back in 1970, we went on holidays to France and the generator pulley split in two. We found a tiny little repair shop where the mechanic welded the pulley back together. It got us into Paris and the Ford dealer fitted a new pulley (cast iron). The car was a bronze colour with a tan roof. The plate number was YPB108G.
2000E Corsair must admit I`d like to see that get restored rather than broken for spares
Pour diesel and paraffin in the bores and leave it a few days to free up, it deserves a second chance 👍😀
And take the belt off the dynamo too.
Agree, they gave up far too easily
I can't wait to see Baxenden car breakers pop up in my subscriptions love this channel and the content it's always creamy
My dad had one of these. Silver with black vinyl roof and twin Weber downdraught carbs. I drove it quite a lot. The acceleration was amazing - it gave me a right kick in the back. Was going up a long hill on a "meat in the sandwich" A road when I lost all power. Made it over the top on tick-over, and was lucky to find a layby. Very embarrassing. Bonnet up, found part of throttle linkage had come apart. Silly little pair of plastic ball joints with split housings held together by circlips, one of which had sprung off. Luckily was able to locate all parts, re-assemble, and go on my way again! The engine was lumpy at high power, but I quite liked that!
Friday 18th January 1980: sadly, the day my grandmother died 😪 I was never quite sure how/why the Corsair sat between the Cortina and the Zephyr/Zodiac? Lovely cars though, would have one in a heartbeat (especially with its Zodiac hubcaps!)
Pretty sure there's a stack of bits that will keep other Corsairs running but it would be nice to see the engine fire again.
My father in law had one . Silver fox, black vynal roof.
I bought it off him. Loved it.
I wish I still had it 😢
My friend bought a corsair in suthern ireland red also
to me a 2000e is the holy grail,i wanted one after seeing my dads friend had uwx181f but was never to be, is it worth restoring or is it just for parts. but given time im sure marcus would nail it
Awesome. I was always fascinated with this type of car my dad owned. Loved flipping down the rear number plate to fill up the tank for a trip to Porthcawl ( local seaside resort) . Wish I had one to drive to my local beach : Daytona Beach Florida.Nothing like cruising down the International Speedway in an "F-reg" Ford Corsair. Love the videos.
Never heard of a v4 until I saw the side view of the engine..
Top stuff
That was like watching a patient brought into a&e, and the crash team doing their damdest to get some life back, Ben with his sweat on, markus not willing to let go, and the head surgeon having to make the call, nice work boys
😂😂😂
Marky boy aint done with that yet Hes not a quitter 👍👍
My dad had one of them back in the 70's. I still remember the number plate MJS 830
Hi there,
My Dad had a blue 1700 corsair.
Have a 1971 2000E for nearly 20 years! Great car!
Hope you do a good job on your corsair!
Great video
Thanks Patrick.
In the end Ben was pushing it sideways .....without much effort I might add 😂...instead of forward and back like James was. On ya Ben....cunning man 🤣
The interior is pretty decent and lots of good spares .You cannot win them all just been stood to long in all kinds of weather ,you gave it a good go though .
My dad came home with silver 1 to try but next day he got Triumph 2-5 PI glad he made that decision,then We Drove to Spain to Llorett Ma Pyrenees mountains Andorra...
I owned a 2000E in 1977, it was a 1967 model RLF217E it was a reliable car as I recall.
nice video , take out plugs wd40 down bores 24h then try it . worked for me .
That Corsair 2000E would have been top of the range back in its day. It's certainly seen better days. I noticed a white Reliant Scimitar in the yard, looking knackered. How did that happen.?.
Yes it was a Top of the Range ,i had one in silver with a webasto roof,and also i had Roadstyle Alloy wheels like the 1600E cortina.unfortunately the clutch went,and i bought a 2000TC Rover p6.
Have a few 1967 posters of the Corsairs and one of them was a 2000E for
£1007 !!!😀
Two next door neighbours down here in Bury still driving them about........ 😉😉
massive respect to the lads.. for giving it a go....👍👍👍
N x
"Can I move it?" "Corsair can!"
Hi from Durham lads 👋👍 great attempt but I think this one maybe a non runner lol unless there a part 2 of it either breaking loose or breaking you all into a sweat from trying 🤣 lol still some good bits and sure it's probably getting put away bit by bit by now getting scanned into a location 👌 thanks for your time be safe and see you soon 👍 👋
👍for Ben! He is the dogs.
You guys have a great humor❤
Yeah it will run always have faith
At least it has most chrome trim and interior not looking to bad good start
Soak the bores in diesel and try again in a few days and cut off the fan belt incase the dynamo or the water pump are seized to, it needs to be restored tbh one owner low mileage
You could almost hear the Corsair sniggering at you all.
Great vid thanks for sharing. 🐵
Yes Jim lad you boys are smashing it 👍
Ste Mulrooney !! Where have you been not seen you for years haha
Marcus your still the king,too bad it wouldnt start i think it looks a bit like the old bat mobile,Ben would of looked good behind the wheel.lol😊
A good restorer that one!
The good old v4 they where in the mk1 Transits get some derv down the bores lol good attempt unlucky on this one. 👍👊
Ah what a shame.Great watch though .Well done for trying with it.x
I'm sure these had a v4 motor and they put them in the early transit too.
I was rocking that car with you boys
Well in boys 👍👍✨
Did you see the lady Diana spencer Ford RS sell on silverstone auction for £650000
Lovely looking car the corsair makes the cortina look like a ugly duckling I'm watching this space come on marky boy 😛😜🤪👍
Awesome video thanks lads 🇬🇧🤠😎🔧🛠️🔧🛠️
That will run for sure.
Well seized that one boys!!
Some cracking bits on it if you're breaking it, hens teeth!! 👍
If memory serves me correct, did the 2.0 GT V4 Corsair have a single choke Zenith carb as opposed to the twin choke Webber on the 2.0E?
My late father owned a Corsair GT V4 as well as one with a 1500 Cortina GT motor
Leave it in the corner. Marky boy will get her going 😁
Cant win them all lads good video 👍 keep them coming 👍 👏 👌 😉
Well you gave it a great shot boys ....... Peachy 🍑
Another good video lads 🚘🚙🚗👍👍👍👍👍👍👍⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Shame to see a classic car that's a bit beyond restoring but at least it has a lot of good hard to find spares for the benefit of those restoring and keeping other classic cars in tip top condition.
My old man had one it was a good-looking motor very deep clutch pedal, after a few years it just started to rust away! He never bought a Ford again.
My actuality car FORD Corsair GT V4 1.7 (essex engine) col.Withe 4 doors year's 1969 in ITALY.
you guys are awesome, a little more fettling and you will have that car turning over
Well worth getting it
Wow. Very cool but it might be past it?
Boy's did you try to free it using first gear. I may be wrong but you might have had a better chance rocking it in 4th gear as being driven from the wheels the gear ratio is reversed providing a higher torque on the crank. You will know this but you could remove the fan belt and starter motor. Such a shame to loose a car like this. It needs someone who will save it for love and not on economic grounds. Hope it survives.
I think you’d find it easier to rock in 4th gear.
This is a sign from above boys, Corsairs are attracted to you to save them as the Ford snobs prefer boxy old Cortinas.
Is the white car off to the right a Scimitar?
Had 3 of them 1500,1600V4 ,2000E auto
Give it 24 hours for the oil to penetrate, then it may free off.
Don't write Marky boy off so easily. 4 X plugs, some elec-ic-tical bits and some brake cleaner, a little help from Top-Don, and she'll puke her guts up.Then a bit of swearing, a new set of points, a condensa, a new rotor arm. And a new charge for Top -Don. maybe some top grade Lanca$hire $wearing!
And she'll purr like a kitten, but that 2 Litre will be thirsty!
HOABL
Nice car.. But rocking the engine free on flat tyres? Come on guys 😄
Ben needs some sun light 🌞
chuck a load of diesel down the carb, leave it for a couple of days, and bounce it in 4th gear, every now and then. it might let go, patients are what you need.
a Good rub of compound and she is mint
Hello David. I haven't cut my toenails since 1973. They began poking through my socks during the summer of 1974. They are now well over 3 feet long. Where do you live? I could visit you in your bungalow this evening. You can remove my wellington boots, peel off my dark green woollen socks and I will thrust my trotters in your face. Get your conk next to my dew beaters and inhale half a century of veruccas, athlete's foot and fungus. What are we having for dinner? I like pickled mussels. Who gets the end with the taps?
Hilarious!.... They seem to be speaking the odd word from the English language too, although not too many.
What da taping of the hammer was going to do
I owned a 1966 Corsair v4. Had a huge problem with busting gaskets the right side. Apparently the water jacket was located too close to the combustion chamber. The only way it was fixed was putting in copper lined gaskets. Generally it was a good car. Huge boot. A lot of interior room.
Try turning on the fly wheel to unlock the engine.
Gearbox is the best Ford ever time.
Archie boy doesn't like being beaten by any car so given the benefit of doubt let him carry on I know for a fact that marky boy can get out going She'll give him an extra day on it then
Heeeeeee creamy content boys, that’ll be running and driving soon enough lol
I don't think that the V4 was a successful engine,it was also used in the Capri 2000GT
When’s the skip weight competition results??😄
What's the music starting at 1.15 minutes?
Omg take the fan an rad out please
Aren't those the engines with the nasty timing gears?
Whens kenny getting his meal? 😂
i think you will get running 👍but not today
Was it hard work standing there?...lol...
Splendid car can I buy it as seen ?
You could try some WD40 spray
Are you going to wear your seatbelt next time?
That will never run after 40 yrs but if anyone can markie boy can
why dont you get a room to together
Easy fix , I
1980 i was on a quid an hour😲 HEEEE 👍
Unfortunately markie boy you just can’t win ‘em all!but good try.
Dumping some diesel down the carb barrels would have been good...
Ben was barely pushing!
👍👍
Why do people let them sit to rot, then sell them. Will not sell hoping to get good money, then it’s to late.
I had a 1700v4 back in the day. Biggest heap of shit i ever owned 😂😂👍
you lot are funny i got a low millage Peugeot 306 98 plate and a jag 2000 308 v8 mot taking pennys as i want a camper out the two
How do lads 👍👍👍👍
🤙🤙🤙🤙
What was the outcome of this Corsair? To be honest it seems you gave up on it to easily. That car is far too good to scrap for spares. Can be restored. 4 cans of WD40, spray the whole engine thourouly, and all gear linkages, all underneath, just keep spraying everything every day for a week. Most components would free and loosen eventually. I watch those videos of hillbillies in Texas doing barn finds and the lengths they go to getting engines fired up after decades in the Bush or barn. You guys gave up to easily
Don’t scrap it,contact the owners club.
Epic fail but cor win em all
Drag it around with forklift truck
That’s to good to scrap or for breaking. 😔
Shame really. has to be scraped now these cowboys got there hands on it.
@@timmyluap Scrapped....... just saying as well as "their". If you're going to be a woppa at least spell it right.
