I'd love this Corsair, Ive owned three, 1965 1500 GT, 1967 2000E and a standard 1964 1500cc saloon HMP 896B still on the DVLA records. Now don't laugh and I know you will , the 1964 Corsair was haunted. 😅 honestly, it freaked me out so much i traded it in for a new Fiat. If only i could tell you the stories about it. It was a one lady owner car. Our neighbour owned the rare estate version back in 1987. I missed out buying it as I was in NZ when he decided to sell it. So i missed out there.
A 1964 1500cc Corsair GT set 13 World Speed and Endurance records at Monza It was a bog standard car but had been blueprinted . It ran at over 100mph for 5 days, stopping every 3 hrs to refuel.
A Beautiful, stylish car from the glory days of motoring! I am a VW man myself, and classic MGB's, but have owned ;Fords, Vauxhalls, Citroen, Renault etc . Growing up, my late Father was a total Vauxhall man, they also made very stylish cars in the 60's, 70's, 80's and I loved them all, but also loved the Ford Corsair and the Hillman Hunter! But this is a beauty! dx
Not sure this colour was available on 2000e in 1970? Zodiac yes, No vinyl roof wrong hub caps no rear pillar badges or black grilles ? ......... Did this start life as a genuine 2000E and they deleted the Vinyl and hub caps ?
The Ford Corsair between the Cortina and Zephyr haven't seen one on the road since the 1990s. Lord Lucan vanished in one, and the Yorkshire Ripper had two.
A very nice 1970 Ford Corsair 2000E Automatic saloon...........I am sure the 2000E model has as standard full Vinyl roof covering. Also, the wheel covers on the 2000E that’s in this particular video are from a Corsair deluxe. A little odd, But still a wonderful car.
I remember working on a few of these in the early 80s when they were already an old car. if the Essex V4 didn't shake itself to bits the dreaded steel worm ate them. to get this far is very rare. if my memory serves me right the Corsair was a sports saloon sitting above the Classic (laterly Cortina)
Ah, the old V4 with self unscrewing exhaust down tubes! They always work loose as the V4 shakes itself to bits. Lovely car though. Hope it goes to someone who loves them.
The automatic was not the version to have gearing was much to short turned these into real screamers the manual version had much taller gearing and the V4 had the torque to pull it made for a much more relaxed drive
I had one, the engine was fords worst ever, sound like a bucket of bolts being shaken even when it was running ok! if ford had fitted the capri V6 this would have been a great car

This is one of fords greatest looking car if I ever saw one. It reminds me of a 1960 ford falcon.
Always loved the Corsair!👍 A dream car! Love the early strip speedo and colunm gear change!

The first car I ever owned was one of these i was 17 and paid £15 at auction in Bristol. .around 1981

I thought the 2000E had a vinyl roof and fancier wheel trims?
It did have a vinyl roof and fancy wgeel trims

It’s not badged either 👍
The front gives off early 60s Ford Thunderbird vibes. Perhaps even early 60s "suicide-door" Lincoln Continental vibes.
Wrong hubcaps, and no vinyl roof, a feature of the 2000E
European stylists must have loved our 50s era tailfins.
No vinyl roof, incorrect hub caps, missing c pillar badges, is this a rebody ? Or clone?
Had 3 of them. 1963 1500,1966 V4 and 1970 2000E auto. The wheel trims wrong on that Corsair.
Is the nearside brake light flashing in the last few frames?

1700 V4 also an option.
Is this a genuine 2000e without such things as vinyl roof and MK4 Zodiac type hubcaps or a Corsair 2000 with an E bootlid?
Ah, the old V4 with self unscrewing exhaust down tubes! They always work loose as the V4 shakes itself to bits.
Lovely car though. Hope it goes to someone who loves them.
THE BADGES ON THE REAR ROOF PANELS ARE MISSING , THEY WERE ON ALL E MODELS
❤❤❤
IT WAS 2.0 OR 1.7
Can l get light to buy

Autos them days were crap. Knew a person who shoe horned a Essex V6 3.0 into one.
It’s a nice car in seemingly good condition, but not necessarily the correct spec for a 2000E
Trouble is it is an auto.
