[janstephenson]

Immaculate! Every credit to you. Love the old Ford straight sixes. Wonderfull sound ❤

[davespain]

Very tastefully restored, great video thanks

[deanmarskell]

Absolutely gorgeous what a car that colour really does pop. Stunning restoration ♥️

[barrycuda]

Really nice restoration, the red almost looks like candy red . There used to be lots of them here in New Zealand. Some people nicknamed them "Maori Canoe , rhyming with Mark two.

[MGBetts]

I love this - the Mk IIs are definitely very rock 'n' roll! 😂🤣

Beautiful Zephyr, like you said, I picked up a Zodiac MK2, when I was young for £30. I have regretted selling it ever since!
Young and not having the money to keep it. Those 2553cc engines are so good. Gorgeous.

My dad had a two tone pastel blue & white one . Three on the tree

Love it, what a great job. My Dad had a brace of Consuls and Zephyres and a PA Cresta. When I started driving in 1977 I had 2 PA's myself and sadly, never got the white Mk 2 Zodiac I hoped for. The car is a credit to the owner and his wife. 0:04 0:04

Absolutely love your Zephyr ...We had a 1961 Mk 2 Zephyr bought brand new by my uncle here in Australia .. It was two tone grey ..155ci six . Three on the tree . Heavy duty interior in blue and white . We had it after my uncle and Dad sold it in the mid 1980s . I learned to drive in it . Only fault was the terrible turning circle..No three point turns, more like a five or six point turn ..Otherwise a great car ..Ford fan and since then owned three Escorts, a Ford Telstar TX5 Ghia only sold in Australia and New Zealand and a few Australian Ford Falcons ..Have a 2001 AU ll Futura and a 2008 FG XR6 now.. Love them both..

Just found this, great interview and interesting story . And not forgetting lovely car ❤

[Cyberdyne-kgku]

Gorgeous colours. Looks good enough to eat.

[YearOldTeenager]

It's a lovely car, I actually had 3 of them, just a few to many accessories spoil it in my opinion. Still, a really nice restoration.

[johnknipe]

I had two of these back in the late sixties, a red manual and a green automatic. Great cars apart from the wipers.

[inthezone]

My family had a couple of Zephyrs from the early 60s. Of all the cars we've owned, I always considered them the worst. Mom went from the Zephyr to a Datsun 510. This Zephyr looks very pretty - likely the coolest one in the world!

[nevillehill]

The engine had a certain sound to them . Always knew when was approaching from behind by the sound of the engine
