The Mark IV was the result of a complete redesign of the Zephyr, Zodiac range under the title Project Panda with both 4 and six cylinder having Vee engines, independent rear suspension and all round disc brakes with a servo option on the fours, standard on the six. four speed column shift is standard but floor change, overdrive and automatic are all options, and for the first time power steering.
The size of the bonnet was emphasized by square cut styling of the wings. A practical use was found for some of the extra space in front of the driver: the spare wheel was stored, ahead of the engine, under the bonnet, freeing up space at the other end of the car for more luggage.
The Zephyr 4 and six have a different grille, the 4 being plain with a single central horizontal chrome strip, while the 6 has a full width chrome grille
The Zodiac and Zodiac Executive models were upmarket versions of the Zephyr 6, but differed considerably from that model by the limousine-type rear doors, sharper roofline (with narrower C-pillar) and tail, unique grille (four headlights instead of two), exclusive bumper bars, plusher seating, and up-market upholstery, dashboard and interior fittings. A choice of individual or bench front seat was available trimmed in leather or cloth. The front doors and bonnet panels were shared with the Zephyr 6. .
The Executive version had extra luxury fittings again. The 2553 cc single-carburettor six-cylinder engine was improved internally to increase the power output to 109 bhp and a new four-speed all synchromesh transmission with column change was fitted. The brakes, servo assisted, use discs at the front and drum at the rear.
Many thanks for a fantabulous
