Dad bought a 1957 MkII Consul, sarum blue with a blue and cream interior with moulded rubber mats. He thought the headlining was brown until we bought some cans of "Groom" foam upholstery cleaner from Halfords. It was quite a reliable runner until the gearbox started to give trouble, so that was swapped for a used unit from a scrapyard and the car traded in part exchange for a 1960 MkII Zephyr in Pompadour Blue. That was a much better car!
A few weeks later Dad passed the car lot where he had traded in the Consul and saw it in the front row, now in a two tone scheme as the dealer had sprayed the roof cream!
