 Harry Potter and Consul Capri

The Beatles Ford Classic
This picture clearly shows the distinctive double headlights, “star-bar grille” and tail lights of the Ford Classic, built in Britain 1961-1963 and sold overseas as the Ford Consul 315. It is a four-door-standard version of the car, almost none of which have survived. Cropped versions of the photograph have been published in contemporary newspapers and retrospective books to highlight the young stars on the rise, which is understandable, but at the cost of the cars’ distinctive features which are further masked by the band. Which often meant the vehicle was later mistaken for a cheaper but better known Cortina model. The club would of course be delighted to hear from its former owners regarding driving impressions and other stories!
 
A cropped version of this picture is available in the excellent little book Beatles In Liverpool. Peter Kaye, 1987. http://www.peterkayephotography.com/
