No 7...Ford Zephyr 1956 Mark 1

My seventh car was a Ford Zephyr, a British car. The car had quite similar looks to my second car, the Ford Consul but whereas the consul had a 4 cylinder engine the Zephyr had a six. (pop back to the consul?...click here)

I had this car in Adelaide, it was quite good to drive but the engine, despite being a 6 lacked power...my Ford Zephyr was a pretty uninspiring car and I dont recall much of it, mine was black in colour, not a good shade to have in Adelaide where summer temps will nudge 40 degrees celcius.

I had this car while I worked for a small trucking company, my job was to drive out to the many vegetable gardens around SA and bring product back to the city markets...the early morning starts were not to my liking however and I lasted just a few months...when I left Adelaide I gave this car to a coworker.
