Dinky Toys 143; Ford Consul Capri; Green; White Roof

I guess the UK was just not ready for the Classic or the Capri in 1961. Back then cars were rounded, stumpy things - like the Austin A30 and the Ford Prefect - they just did not look like this. Shame. Look at it, it's space-age camp, it couldn't be camper if it had a pink tent instead of a roof. I love it. Red seats and a white steering wheel too - wow.
