Shortly after aquiring the car it was serviced and the underside protected by a local classic car restorer.
The car usually gets used quite regularly but of course there have been a few problems.
A replacement regulator and dynamo cured the problem of a flat battery on a few occasions.
A small hole in the radiator caused some loss of coolant and overheating and was repaired with some compound. This lasted for a while but gave out on the M1 on a trip to the seaside. It was shortly repaired professionally.
Other work done includes a replacement fuel pump, starter motor overhaul and some welding.
The paint work is covered on the previous page. Inside door arm rests and a period car radio have been fitted and a leopard skin cover on the front seat.
Hopefully the Consul will be attending a few classic car shows in the summer.
