Manufacturer description

The Zephyr/Zodiac Mark III shared some of its mechanical components, as well as the basic chassis design, with the Mark II, but had a stronger overall body construction. The exterior was designed by Canadian Roy Brown who also designed the Edsel and the Cortina, though the rear of the body was inspired by a design proposal by Frua. Unlike the Zephyr 4, the Zephyr 6 had a full width grille including the headlight surrounds.

Catalogue listing

The model is based on the Zephyr/Zodiac Mark III, which retained several mechanical components and the basic chassis design of the earlier Mark II but features a stronger overall body construction. The exterior was styled by Canadian designer Roy Brown, whose work also includes the Edsel and the Cortina; the rear of the body draws on a design proposal by Italian coachbuilder Frua. Unlike the four‑cylinder Zephyr, the six‑cylinder version is fitted with a full‑width grille that incorporates the headlamp surrounds.
