Me too, Dick but I owned just the one '53 Ford Zephyr.

To be pedantic the Zodiac would look better with proper wheels...
and the script should be gold. The script was raised on the Zodiac, as opposed to the Zephyr, so it could be read over the fog and spotlights which aren't fitted on this one. Colours are correct and the Bristol registration number too. That's it, pedant's hat off and anorak too...I'd still have it in a heartbeat!

EXCELLENT !!! especially the Alfa and Facel Vega.

No car of this ilk deserves to be treated in this way. It goes way beyond bad taste into the murkey world vandalism. But, it ain't my car and some guy will no doubt be very proud of his car.

Curious to know what drive train he's running. Duals are perhaps a clue.

John it never occurred to me before this but wouldn't it be fun to do a vintage engine/drive train transplant (Lotus Cortina tuned?) and subtle but significant suspension/brake upgrade to make one of these Zodiacs a true sleeper? No fancy wheels, retain stock paint job; no other giveaways. Qualifier: Donor car must be mechanically knackered.....not a pristeen sacrifice. Opinion?
