Ford Zephyrs and Zodiacs were a quintessential part of life for anyone over the age of 40 - few won't have had at least one memorable ride in a Zephyr.

Nowadays Zephyr enthusiasts love their cars dearly, whether they are Mark i, Mark ii, Zodiacs or Consuls, and Tim Chadwick has had a ball profiling some of the owners and collectors of these now classic motor vehicles.
