Description

  • The second-generation Zephyr Convertible is a definitive piece of British motoring history, bridging the gap between post-war European design and iconic American styling
  • Built by Ford of Britain with coachwork handled by Carbodies of Coventry, only 5,139 were originally produced, however, as they suffered from a much higher rust and attrition rate than the saloon models they are considerably rarer
  • They were powered by an oversquare 2,553cc OHV straight-six engine producing roughly 85bhp mated to a three-speed column-change gearbox
  • First registered in 1959, this example has been in family ownership since 2009, forming part of a cherished private Collection of British classics, with several companion cars also entered into this sale
  • Understood to have been the subject of an earlier restoration, the car remains notably well presented and is reported to be both running and driving
  • Carefully stored for almost ten years following the passing of our vendor's late husband, the Zephyr will require recommissioning before returning to regular road use
  • An increasingly rare and highly desirable late-1950s British four-seat convertible, presenting an excellent opportunity to acquire a scarce Ford with considerable potential and offered at a sensible estimate
