Our Zephyr Looks Great
August 1, 2024
We recently welcomed our 1959 Ford Zephyr into the Bridge Classic Cars workshop.
As it was going through its initial inspection and assessment, we couldn’t help but notice just how well it has been restored over the last few years.
Usually, when the workshop team get underneath a car, there’s a surprise or two waiting for them. In this case, though, it was a very pleasant surprise as even the underside of this stunning classic seems to be in pristine condition.

My good friend John had a 1955 Mk1 Zephyr 6 that had been left in his Grandfathers will. It had 38k miles on it when we went out searching for Anglias and minis to burn off at the lights. We were 17 in 1971 and the police assumed we had stolen it when they often pulled us over in their Minor Panda Cars! I remember the lovely exhaust note and how flexible the engine was. Would pull away from 30mph in top gear with no fuss.
My Uncle Alan had a Mk2 Zodiac Automatic which seemed so exotic to me in 1966 when my fathers car was still the old Triumph Renown 1949 model. I would love this Zephyr and the gorgeous note it produces when double declutching down to 2nd. Fingers and Toes crossed!
Is it column change? Yes, it definitely is and you’d better be good with the clutch getting it away on a hill, as the 3 speed box has quiet a high ratio 1st gear. Ha ha!
