My Consul was yellow and my girlfriend at the time named it 'Flying custard'.
I converted the vacuum drive windscreen wipers to electric.
In order to do any serious work on the engine one first had to dismantle the heater - That was how they built cars back then, with the heater as an afterthought sat on top of everything else.
I used put in used engine oil because it didn't stay in there long enough to do any damage. But it got me from Totnes to Weymouth and back every weekend for a few months, then the prop shaft fell off....
