Manufacturer description

This version of the Ford Zephyr 6 was made between 1962 and 1966, during which time over 105,000 were made. The Oxford release, registration BRL 441C, is modelled on the four-door option but Ford also made the car as an estate as well. The Zephyr, which came with either a four or six cylinder engine, was assembled in Dagenham alongside its up-market partner the Ford Zodiac (which was always two-tone and slightly faster) and shared many common components.

Here at Oxford, we have reproduced in miniature the special characteristics of the Ford Zodiac 6. Particularly detailed is the long chrome radiator grille, which also incorporates the headlights. Note too, the silver flash behind the rear passenger window, the printed Zephyr 6 badge on the boot lid and the Zephyr marque printed above the front grille. The wheels have also been given special treatment in line with the original and the authentic Tuscan Yellow colour scheme is in sharp contrast to the black interior and the wealth of chrome and black masking additions that benefit this charming little model.
