Description
The car was purchased many years ago by the current owner’s father-in-law as a restoration project. At the time, it was in major need of rust repairs and had fallen out of the vehicle registry.
It was later bought by the current owner in 2017, who skillfully carried out the welding work and restored the components that required attention. The car was then sent away for paintwork, after which it was reassembled, inspected, and made roadworthy once again. Since then, it has been used very sparingly during the summer months.

Condition
-
Mechanical condition
It runs beautifully and functions without issue. The gears engage smoothly, and the brakes operate well without pulling to either side.
-
Interior condition
Original interior with a fine patina, including some repaired seams in the seats. Crack in the dashboard. The door panels are intact but somewhat sun-faded, and the interior would benefit from a light detailing to really come into its own.
-
Exterior condition
The car was repainted in its original color in 2017 and has held up well without any major remarks since. The chrome is in fine condition, with only a few small spots of pitting on the emblems. Good tires fitted to painted original wheels.
-
General condition
A rare sight on today’s roads — a more luxurious version powered by a smooth-running inline-six engine.

Facts about the model
The Ford Zephyr/Zodiac was a series of passenger cars produced by Ford’s British subsidiary between 1950 and 1972. The third generation, the Mk III (1962–1965), received completely new bodywork while retaining much of the previous generation’s underlying engineering. The engines were updated for increased power, and the cars were equipped with a four-speed gearbox. The Consul name disappeared and was replaced by the four-cylinder Zephyr 4, which could also be ordered with an automatic transmission as an option. The Zephyr 6 featured a larger grille, a six-cylinder engine, and more powerful brakes.
The more exclusive Zodiac model stood apart more clearly from the rest of the range through its unique rear-end styling, roofline, rear doors, and a more luxurious interior. Despite popular belief, the Zodiac used essentially the same engine as the Zephyr, though fitted with a larger carburetor and a freer-flowing exhaust system. Toward the end of production, a well-equipped Executive version was also offered. Estate versions for the Mk III series were built by Abbott.
