So do we!

The Corsair is a great looking car. Great to see it being used on a daily basis.

Brilliant- best of old and new, great result and they use and enjoy it, perfect.

Just checked and there are only 414 Corsairs on the road in the UK now! My dad got a new B reg automatic one in 1964, we drove from UK through the Alps to Italy in it. It went rusty and was scrapped in about 1971 so it was only 7 years old! Amazed this one can be on the road after 58 years. We used to have fun with petrol pump attendants trying to find the filler which is under the back number plate. I got one as my first car and all the copper colour metallic paint was peeling off the roof. I had another one years later that I bought for £50. Starter motor broke and I could not afford one from the scrappie so I drove it for about three weeks until payday bumping it down hills to start it. Not a Ford fanatic but I have a soft spot for these.

How many Mk1 Mondeos on the road ? I think there is even less?

@@Efferpheasants Probably true, the website (How many left) does not break down the mks very well. They are being scrapped at a fast rate, there were 14,000 of all mks on the road in 2003 and now only 700 in 2023.

Fantastic car and great attitude from the owner. Super cool 😎 👍

Had one early 70s ,Beria mechanic I shoved in the v6 with a bit of jigging about,put the 2000e dash in along with a lochhead brake servo ,plus the usual spring updates

My old Corsair was the cover car in the March 2008 issue of Retro Ford magazine. Powered by a 330bhp Sierra RS Cosworth YB turbo engine and T5 gearbox with a narrowed Capri lsd rear axle. Cheers. Leigh.

Wallace please post more info on how the engine swap and any other work was carried out. I wanna do the same work on my prep x flow stock corsair.

Super! What a great way to make a daily driver that completely suits your taste and needs.

Know Craig personally, he’s an ace chap with an ace daily driver!

Such a great idea to use a good modern dayvengine from a parts and reliability aspect…

Had 3 of them 1500,1600 V4 and 2000E auto

Nice vlog classics world…awesome motor👌🏻

Dad owned a 2000e red black vinyl roof.ruy 650f is it still out there?

My Dad had a Corsair 2000E it was a really nice car from what I remember and he still talks glowingly about it today. Love the colour scheme.

Had a two tone green one in the seventies loved it good looking cars

I had a corsair in my younger days twotone more or less the same colours as yours ,i fitted a ford v6 into mine .yours looks lovely (love to show you a picture but not sure how to do it very very similar).

Mate of mine had one in 70s engine was not up to much !

Used those two shades of blue on my mk2 cortina many years ago

Essex version V4 made in Dagenham. Wonder is it is much different to the Ford Germany Taunus V4 one, that SAAB licenced and used in their 96 car, that they really tuned for rallying. They got over 200bhp out of one version, had a turbo on it's V4. Rough engines they all were though.

The Essex and Cologne engine are completely different not a same bolt between them. Obviously because the Cologne engine is German it has a better reputation than the Essex.

I do love this featured Corsair!

The V4 was a poor engine. The first car I was ever in was my dad’s V4 Corsair when he brought me and my mum home from the hospital after I was born in 1968.

They had a balance shaft that run under the crankshaft to make it run smooth, runs at a different speed to the crank. Engine gets rough and blows up if the gear cogs and chain/belt goes lose with wear.

Beautiful Corsair. A huge credit to you and all involved. I had a four door in deep black with 2.8 V6. Loved it but had to let it go for another project.

Matter of interest what insurance are you with as I'm interested in a classic ford but at some point do an engine swap/ change over.

I am just off to sell one of my kidneys be back soon .
