Note: Larry Brown, the spares secretary of the Ford Consul Classic & Capri Owners' Club, has spent a lot of his time to collect and manage the remanufactured parts for Classic and Capri. Just join the FCCOC to benefit of Larry's enthusiasm. I'm sure, the cost of telephone calls for hunting parts will be higher than the club fee!
Nevertheless, read the British classic car magazines like Practical Classic or Popular Classic to find some useful hints and addresses. Feel free to send them to me!
