First seen at the 1951 Earls Court Motorshow, but not many produced until 1953. Body from Carbodies of Coventry. Built alongside the 1508 cc Mk.1 Consul convertible but differing mechanically and by the hood on Consul being manually operated and the Zephyr was motor driven to the de ville position. The engine was normally capable of around 80 mph but were easily tweaked.
