Ford Corsair

The Ford Corsair, manufactured by Ford Motor Company in the United Kingdom, was a midsize car available as either a saloon or estate from 1964 until 1970. There was also a convertible version built by Crayford, which is now very rare and highly sought after as a classic. The saloon was available briefly as a 2-door model in some export markets.

The Corsair had unusual and quite bold styling for its day, with a sharp horizontal V-shaped crease at the very front of the car into which round headlights were inset. This gave the car an apparently aerodynamic shape. The jet-like styling extended to the rear where sharply pointed vertical light clusters hinted at fins. The overall styling was clearly inspired by the early 1960s Ford Thunderbird, though in transferring the look to a British family car, the overall effect is something of an acquired taste. The 1960s decade refers to the years from 1960 to 1969, inclusive. ...

Originally offered with the larger 1.5 L Kent engine that was also used in the smaller Ford Cortina, in standard and GT form, the range was revised in 1965, adopting new V4 engines that many say spoiled rather than enhanced the car, as it was rough at idle and coarse on the road. This was available in 1.7 L form at first, but later in 1966, a larger 2.0 L version was offered alongside. The marketing tag line for the V4 models was "The Car That Is Seen But Not Heard", which was a real stretch of the ad man's puff, given the inherent characteristics of the engine! The Ford Kent is an internal combustion engine from Ford of Europe. ... The Ford Cortina was a midsize car sold by Ford of Britain. ...


In 1967, the Corsair also underwent the Executive treatment like its smaller Cortina sibling, giving the 2000E model with dechromed flanks, unique wheel covers, a vinyl roof and upgraded cabin fittings.


The Corsair's performance was underwhelming, with a top speed in its 2.0 L V4 version of about 95 mph (153 km/h). While some enthusiasts increased performance, a popular story was that if the car was driven at over 80 mph (129 km/h), the wedge-shaped nose generated so much lift that the car became seriously dangerous. It is likely that this story is an urban myth. Urban Legend is also the name of a 1998 movie. ...


The Corsair was replaced by the Mk 3 Cortina in 1970, at which time the enlarged Cortina became Ford's midsized car, and a new smaller model, the Escort filled in the size below. The new Ford Capri took on the performance and sporty aspirations of the company.

Over its six-year production, 310,000 Corsairs were built.


Australia

Between 1989 and 1992, the Corsair name was used by Ford in Australia for an unusual restyled version of the Nissan Pintara (known in development as 'Project Matilda', as a hint of Australian pride), under a model-sharing scheme known as the Button Plan. Available as a sedan or hatchback, it was intended to replace the Mazda-based Ford Telstar, which was imported from Japan, but due in part to unpopularity it actually ended up being sold alongside the Telstar. When Nissan closed its Australian plant in 1992, the Corsair was discontinued, and Ford continued to sell the Telstar. 1989 (MCMLXXXIX in Roman) is a common year starting on Sunday of the Gregorian calendar. ... 1992 (MCMXCII in Roman) was a leap year starting on Wednesday. ...
