1964 Ford Zephyr 6
I had a long chat with the owner of this, and several other people came and went too.
It turned out he lives quite close to me and I was surprised I hadn't seen the car before, given that it's his daily driver.
It's not immaculate and has a non standard colour and wheels, but as the owner said, it's as much for transport as for show.
It's got the standard and original six cylinder engine, but a modified stainless exhaust means you can hear it coming.
It's pretty reliable in everyday use; much as the car would have been in the 1960's. Odd bits are hard to get and/or expensive. He's got a few bits of trim from Australia and even little badges and bits of brightwork are $100+.
It's always a treat to come across a nice car and a friendly owner. Even the Easter weather was cooperating!
