The Mark II Consul, Zephyr and Zodiac were launched in 1956 with a longer wheelbase better weight distribuition and bigger engines than their predecessors.
The new Zephyr and its more luxurious sibling the Zodiac appeared with the Ford code number 206E as the six cylinder models (204E + the four cy;inder Consul) engines were enlarged to 2,553 cc with an output of 86bhp, Top speed increased to 88 mph and fuel consumption to 28.3 mpg..
All three cars shared the same basic body shell, borrowing cues from the 1956 models of America's Thunderbird and Fairlane.
he roof profile was lowered from February 1959 on the Mk2 version (Lowline) with plated window frames and 1.75 inches trimmed from the overall height redesigned rear lights and much of the external bright work in stainless steel.
As well as a 3-speed manual gearbox there was an optional overdrive and from 1956 a Borg Warner DG automatic transmission. At first drum brakes were fitted all round but front discs became optional in 1960 and standard from mid 1961
