Talk:Ford Corsair

message: Hi!  Lovely article.  The link to the mk3 Cortina in the chronology bit of the box on the right leads to the ford Granada, not the Cortina. 78.148.200.174 (talk) 16:39, 2 March 2014 (UTC)

message: There are much more recent Ford Corsair's around. They made them until at least 1991. tactik 12:43, 7 April 2007 (UTC)

message: I owned a mid 1964 Corsair with a V4 engine. Alpina green.
When it was 10 years old and the engine was worn out, it would regularly clock 95 mph.
When I had it re-engined to 2000 cc, it would clock easily 105 mph.MarkRS53 (talk) 09:18, 29 December 2011 (UTC)

message: For some reason I started googling round this issue when I spotted an edit conflict going on somewhere round line 34 of the Ford Corsair entry.   Clearly I need to get a life.   Meanwhile:
I found a source for them being twins born in 1938.http://www.classiccars.co.uk/cars/ford/anglia/105e/
I found sources for Anthony T Brookes and Michael J Brookes BOTH having had their births registered in the same place in the same quarter of 1938 with the same unusually named mother.
I don't think the probability of any combination of sources ever takes us too far beyond 99%, in terms of converting into the likelihood of something being true.   Nevertheless I find this combination powerfully persuasive - probably "above 99.5%".   
However, I do not myself believe that the fact of the Brookes boys having been twins really belongs in an entry about the Ford Corsair.   It would belong in an entry about Tony Brookes if our anonymous contributor has enough information to produce a wiki-worthy entry on the guy.   They - but especially Tony - must have been in the public eye for long enough to have generated a reasonably persuasive collection of sources attesting to notability.   
Think of it as a challenge.   Success Charles01 (talk) 08:41, 8 August 2015 (UTC)
replies: text: I have been reverting these additions.  They are entirely unsourced.  I've outlined my doubts on teh Ford Anglia page - The classiccars.co.uk source appears to be a verbatim duplicate of the Wikipedia, so fails reliability, and indeed all the sources I've googled are essentially Wiki-mirrors.  As you point out, the issue is not whether they were twins, but whether they were both at thsi race course.  In the strictest sense, the entire section is unsourced, so from now on, I'm going to remove that instead of just the twin section.  Chaheel Riens (talk) 19:44, 8 August 2015 (UTC)
