#18 ford corsair

[fixer]

A nice model which comes in a deep metallic red and a variety of interior colours , the only casting variation is the ejector ring on the engine (this occurs on several models across the range)
I have one which has silver trim to the rear light and number plate all the others only have the bumper trimmed

Does your blue interior one have a silver painted base ?

I would think the silver painted lights & number plate tie it up with it being an early model as it has beige interior, unpainted base and knobbly tyres.

the blue one has an unpainted base , and I think you are correct about the one with the numberplate trim
are you aware of any colour variations apart from the flyers

[GHOSTHUNTER]

I am not aware of any other colours on the Corsair, it has been a very consistent issue. The Silver rear index plate and lamp units are on the early issues only which ties-in with the bare metal baseplate.

Here is a rare picture of Corsairs ready for boxing up dated July 1966.

We will visit this casting again when it became a 'Fire Chief' car on catalogue number 32.
