The vendor describes this 1496cc 1966 Ford Corsair as a relatively rust-free example of the rare two-door model with the preferable Crossflow engine. It was built in South Africa in 1965 and registered there in January 1966. The vendor notes that the paint has been eroded somewhat by years of enthusiastic polishing and the carpets are faded and worn, but the rest of the interior is surviving well. Recently arriving in the UK, the Corsair has now been registered since being onsite at ACA and wears the registration number BAH 102D. Although the Corsair is believed not to have been used for some time prior to import, the car runs, drives and stops, after recently having received attention to its brakes. The odometer shows 33,426 miles. 

The current V5 is now present. Other paperwork includes an owner's handbook, South African service book stamped up to 16,809 miles in June 1975, and some South African documentation. There's also a spare set of keys.
