    My dad took us all out to New Zealand around 1961 and we took a brand new Regency grey mk 2 Zephyr with us. I loved that car, I was 11 or 12 and it was the best. Red bench seats and fabulous machined aluminium right across the dash!

    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.

    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.

    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

    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!

    No they shouldn’t. They should slope slightly upwards, like the one in this car
