Ford ZEPHYR

The Ford ZEPHYR

The Ford Zephyr was a large family car that represented the upper-mid range of British motoring from 1950 to 1972. Available as both a saloon and estate model, the Zephyr was positioned above the popular Consul but below the luxury Zodiac in Ford's British lineup. It was characterized by its elegant styling, comfortable interior, and relatively powerful six-cylinder engine options, making it a popular choice for middle-class professionals and business executives who wanted to project success without appearing ostentatious.

The Zephyr was produced across three main generations (Mark I, II, and III), with the Mark I launched in 1951, followed by the Mark II in 1956, and finally the Mark III in 1962. The Mark IV, renamed the Zephyr 6, was produced from 1966 until the model's discontinuation in 1972. Over its production run, approximately 325,000 units were sold across all marks, with the Mark II being particularly successful, selling around 135,000 units during its production period.

As a testament to its significance in British motoring history, the Zephyr has become highly collectible among classic car enthusiasts. It was particularly successful in its heyday, being widely used as a police car and taxi, while also featuring in numerous British films and television shows of the period. The Zephyr's legacy is remembered as one of Ford's most successful British models, representing a time when the company dominated the UK's large family car market, though today surviving examples are relatively rare and highly sought after by collectors.
