Ford had to call this car the Consul because the rental firm Granada Group fought the "Granada" name in court — once Ford won in 1975, Consul vanished for good.
Rock and roll history has a weird footnote here: a 1960 Ford Consul Mark II was the actual taxi that crashed and killed Eddie Cochran, not the London hackney cab the story usually blames.
The original Consul quietly pioneered suspension tech still used today - it was the first British production car fitted with MacPherson strut front suspension.
