dsl ◊ 2014-08-10 21:17	Has Zodiac 6-window cabin and 4 lights, so probably a Zodiac, but several differences from production version - has round tail-lights, Mk2 Consul indented hubcaps, no badges and no rear trim strips. 267 COV was a Jan 1961 Birmingham plate, but I'd guess this is an internal Ford reference plate (and there's no tax disc). (on left here; black on right is the Zephyr 4 pre=production) Another with normal trim, but probably pre-launch for covered badges: Some more later, looking production spec:
