W Dagenham wyprodukowano 5 milionowego angielskiego Forda.
Nowy Consul Classic ma z przodu hamulce tarczowe a pod maską całkowicie nowy silnik. Niby-amerykańska stylizacja ze skrzydłami z tyłu, poczwórnymi reflektorami pod efektownymi daszkami, lśniącymi na wlocie powietrza gwiazdkami i modnie pochyloną pod ujemnym kątem tylną szybą, wnosi powiew świeżości na konserwatywny, angielski rynek. Napędzany jest 4-cylindrowym silnikem o pojemności 1340 cm³ i mocy 54 KM. Układ napędowy Coupé Capri bez
zmian przejęty został z limuzyny.
