Had loads of these Mk2s, great cars, just sold my 58 Hi Line Zodiac, although i prefer the Zephyrs, and the Consul is the Rock N Roll car, im happy with my two Metropolitans, much more fun than these and more unusual
These were really roomy, spacious cars and with the front bench seat and column chnage one could happily get a driver and two girlfriends in the front (plus more in the back). Todays cars are safer no doubt but the 'cockpit' front compartments prevent any access across the car - and much less easy to get your arm around your girlfriend!
I had 2 high line Zodiacs 2 tone lower cream upper part in torquise The first in 1969 a rather scuffy example I swopped for 1962 3a Rapier and £40( bad move) The 2nd in 1974 bought for £12 with 2nd gear defuncke Parts from a Ford dealer cost£6.50 to repair all done on the kitchen floor. Gear box in and out in a surburban Street. £sold the car for£30 inbetween I had a Zephyr 6 Mk3 a very rusty car.
Good to see some real beautifuly restored Fords
