234 Ford Consul Classic 315
July 1961 - 1965
Issued in 1961 and found in cream and red for the boxed edition, which always have shaped wheels, fixed on early editions and free spinning on later models. This was the first model to be issued with shaped wheels at the outset (other than the Bentley Continental which had free spinning wheels from the start) but other models had first appeared with smooth fixed wheels.
It was also included in the Golden Guinea Gift Set 20 with a silver plated finish and red interior.

This is 424 in Police guise, white with Police decals. It has a red interior and either smooth fixed, shaped fixed or free-spinning wheels. There are two types of roof lamp: one is large and the other small.
440 and 491 Ford Consul Cortina Estate
January 1966 - 1969 (440)
September 1966 - 1969 (491)
This was issued as an individual boxed model as 491 and as 440 with a golfer, boy caddy and golf trolley and bag as a set on an attractive inner display.
The car can be found in metallic blue, metallic red and dark metallic grey. The wheels can be shaped (all colours) or cast (red and grey). I have not seen a blue model with cast wheels yet but see no reason why it shouldn't exist.
