2000E Corsair must admit I`d like to see that get restored rather than broken for spares
My Father had a 2000E back in 1970, we went on holidays to France and the generator pulley split in two. We found a tiny little repair shop where the mechanic welded the pulley back together. It got us into Paris and the Ford dealer fitted a new pulley (cast iron). The car was a bronze colour with a tan roof. The plate number was YPB108G.
Pour diesel and paraffin in the bores and leave it a few days to free up, it deserves a second chance 👍😀
And take the belt off the dynamo too.
Agree, they gave up far too easily
Friday 18th January 1980: sadly, the day my grandmother died 😪 I was never quite sure how/why the Corsair sat between the Cortina and the Zephyr/Zodiac? Lovely cars though, would have one in a heartbeat (especially with its Zodiac hubcaps!)
Pretty sure there's a stack of bits that will keep other Corsairs running but it would be nice to see the engine fire again.
In the end Ben was pushing it sideways .....without much effort I might add 😂...instead of forward and back like James was. On ya Ben....cunning man 🤣
I owned a 2000E in 1977, it was a 1967 model RLF217E it was a reliable car as I recall.
Marky boy aint done with that yet Hes not a quitter 👍👍
"Can I move it?" "Corsair can!"
👍for Ben! He is the dogs.
Never heard of a v4 until I saw the side view of the engine..
Top stuff
My dad had one of these. Silver with black vinyl roof and twin Weber downdraught carbs. I drove it quite a lot. The acceleration was amazing - it gave me a right kick in the back. Was going up a long hill on a "meat in the sandwich" A road when I lost all power. Made it over the top on tick-over, and was lucky to find a layby. Very embarrassing. Bonnet up, found part of throttle linkage had come apart. Silly little pair of plastic ball joints with split housings held together by circlips, one of which had sprung off. Luckily was able to locate all parts, re-assemble, and go on my way again! The engine was lumpy at high power, but I quite liked that!
Did you see the lady Diana spencer Ford RS sell on silverstone auction for £650000
I can't wait to see Baxenden car breakers pop up in my subscriptions love this channel and the content it's always creamy
Well in boys 👍👍✨
I was rocking that car with you boys
That was like watching a patient brought into a&e, and the crash team doing their damdest to get some life back, Ben with his sweat on, markus not willing to let go, and the head surgeon having to make the call, nice work boys
😂😂😂
Awesome. I was always fascinated with this type of car my dad owned. Loved flipping down the rear number plate to fill up the tank for a trip to Porthcawl ( local seaside resort) . Wish I had one to drive to my local beach : Daytona Beach Florida.Nothing like cruising down the International Speedway in an "F-reg" Ford Corsair. Love the videos.
My dad had one of them back in the 70's. I still remember the number plate MJS 830
You guys have a great humor❤
Great show ...the pic up , the look over the challenge ...and sadly the defeat ...lol.... . Great laughs ...catch up again soon... yeeha
My father in law had one . Silver fox, black vynal roof.
I bought it off him. Loved it.
I wish I still had it 😢
A good restorer that one!
Yeah it will run always have faith
nice video , take out plugs wd40 down bores 24h then try it . worked for me .
That Corsair 2000E would have been top of the range back in its day. It's certainly seen better days. I noticed a white Reliant Scimitar in the yard, looking knackered. How did that happen.?.
Yes it was a Top of the Range ,i had one in silver with a webasto roof,and also i had Roadstyle Alloy wheels like the 1600E cortina.unfortunately the clutch went,and i bought a 2000TC Rover p6.
to me a 2000e is the holy grail,i wanted one after seeing my dads friend had uwx181f but was never to be, is it worth restoring or is it just for parts. but given time im sure marcus would nail it
Awesome video thanks lads 🇬🇧🤠😎🔧🛠️🔧🛠️
Yes Jim lad you boys are smashing it 👍
Ste Mulrooney !! Where have you been not seen you for years haha
Ah what a shame.Great watch though .Well done for trying with it.x
You could almost hear the Corsair sniggering at you all.
Great vid thanks for sharing. 🐵
Leave it in the corner. Marky boy will get her going 😁
That will run for sure.
Hi from Durham lads 👋👍 great attempt but I think this one maybe a non runner lol unless there a part 2 of it either breaking loose or breaking you all into a sweat from trying 🤣 lol still some good bits and sure it's probably getting put away bit by bit by now getting scanned into a location 👌 thanks for your time be safe and see you soon 👍 👋
Another good video lads 🚘🚙🚗👍👍👍👍👍👍👍⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Cant win them all lads good video 👍 keep them coming 👍 👏 👌 😉
The interior is pretty decent and lots of good spares .You cannot win them all just been stood to long in all kinds of weather ,you gave it a good go though .
My dad came home with silver 1 to try but next day he got Triumph 2-5 PI glad he made that decision,then We Drove to Spain to Llorett Ma Pyrenees mountains Andorra...
The good old v4 they where in the mk1 Transits get some derv down the bores lol good attempt unlucky on this one. 👍👊
Soak the bores in diesel and try again in a few days and cut off the fan belt incase the dynamo or the water pump are seized to, it needs to be restored tbh one owner low mileage
Well seized that one boys!!
Some cracking bits on it if you're breaking it, hens teeth!! 👍
Well you gave it a great shot boys ....... Peachy 🍑
Lovely looking car the corsair makes the cortina look like a ugly duckling I'm watching this space come on marky boy 😛😜🤪👍
Marcus your still the king,too bad it wouldnt start i think it looks a bit like the old bat mobile,Ben would of looked good behind the wheel.lol😊
Two next door neighbours down here in Bury still driving them about........ 😉😉
massive respect to the lads.. for giving it a go....👍👍👍
N x
you guys are awesome, a little more fettling and you will have that car turning over
At least it has most chrome trim and interior not looking to bad good start
Give it 24 hours for the oil to penetrate, then it may free off.
Don't write Marky boy off so easily. 4 X plugs, some elec-ic-tical bits and some brake cleaner, a little help from Top-Don, and she'll puke her guts up.Then a bit of swearing, a new set of points, a condensa, a new rotor arm. And a new charge for Top -Don. maybe some top grade Lanca$hire $wearing!
And she'll purr like a kitten, but that 2 Litre will be thirsty!
HOABL
Well worth getting it
I'm sure these had a v4 motor and they put them in the early transit too.
Ben needs some sun light 🌞
If memory serves me correct, did the 2.0 GT V4 Corsair have a single choke Zenith carb as opposed to the twin choke Webber on the 2.0E?
a Good rub of compound and she is mint
Hello David. I haven't cut my toenails since 1973. They began poking through my socks during the summer of 1974. They are now well over 3 feet long. Where do you live? I could visit you in your bungalow this evening. You can remove my wellington boots, peel off my dark green woollen socks and I will thrust my trotters in your face. Get your conk next to my dew beaters and inhale half a century of veruccas, athlete's foot and fungus. What are we having for dinner? I like pickled mussels. Who gets the end with the taps?
My late father owned a Corsair GT V4 as well as one with a 1500 Cortina GT motor
Shame to see a classic car that's a bit beyond restoring but at least it has a lot of good hard to find spares for the benefit of those restoring and keeping other classic cars in tip top condition.
chuck a load of diesel down the carb, leave it for a couple of days, and bounce it in 4th gear, every now and then. it might let go, patients are what you need.
Archie boy doesn't like being beaten by any car so given the benefit of doubt let him carry on I know for a fact that marky boy can get out going She'll give him an extra day on it then
I think you’d find it easier to rock in 4th gear.
My friend bought a corsair in suthern ireland red also
Nice car.. But rocking the engine free on flat tyres? Come on guys 😄
Hilarious!.... They seem to be speaking the odd word from the English language too, although not too many.
Omg take the fan an rad out please
Whens kenny getting his meal? 😂
Had 3 of them 1500,1600V4 ,2000E auto
This is a sign from above boys, Corsairs are attracted to you to save them as the Ford snobs prefer boxy old Cortinas.
Heeeeeee creamy content boys, that’ll be running and driving soon enough lol
My actuality car FORD Corsair GT V4 1.7 (essex engine) col.Withe 4 doors year's 1969 in ITALY.
Is the white car off to the right a Scimitar?
Boy's did you try to free it using first gear. I may be wrong but you might have had a better chance rocking it in 4th gear as being driven from the wheels the gear ratio is reversed providing a higher torque on the crank. You will know this but you could remove the fan belt and starter motor. Such a shame to loose a car like this. It needs someone who will save it for love and not on economic grounds. Hope it survives.
My old man had one it was a good-looking motor very deep clutch pedal, after a few years it just started to rust away! He never bought a Ford again.
What da taping of the hammer was going to do
1980 i was on a quid an hour😲 HEEEE 👍
Wow. Very cool but it might be past it?
Was it hard work standing there?...lol...
👍👍
I don't think that the V4 was a successful engine,it was also used in the Capri 2000GT
When’s the skip weight competition results??😄
First👍
First what?
What's the music starting at 1.15 minutes?
Try turning on the fly wheel to unlock the engine.
Gearbox is the best Ford ever time.
🤙🤙🤙🤙
That will never run after 40 yrs but if anyone can markie boy can
why dont you get a room to together
Easy fix , I
You could try some WD40 spray
Dumping some diesel down the carb barrels would have been good...
i think you will get running 👍but not today
How do lads 👍👍👍👍
Splendid car can I buy it as seen ?
Unfortunately markie boy you just can’t win ‘em all!but good try.
Ben was barely pushing!
you lot are funny i got a low millage Peugeot 306 98 plate and a jag 2000 308 v8 mot taking pennys as i want a camper out the two
Aren't those the engines with the nasty timing gears?
Epic fail but cor win em all
Why do people let them sit to rot, then sell them. Will not sell hoping to get good money, then it’s to late.
I had a 1700v4 back in the day. Biggest heap of shit i ever owned 😂😂👍
Are you going to wear your seatbelt next time?
V4
Drag it around with forklift truck
you want 4th gear, not 1st...
Don’t scrap it,contact the owners club.
