"Zodiphyr"??? This looks to be, without doubt, a 'Low line' Zephyr, recognizable because of the (1958+) centre badge and the elevated centre of the grille. The Zodiac had a cast and chromed upper part of the grille and the side strip running all the way to the rear lights, instead of in a curve on the rear wing. Edit: What does 207E instead of 206E mean? Is it different depending on the position of the steering wheel? My Zephyr (1960) and my Zodiac (1957) are left hand drive, but called 206E - both of them. -- Last edit: 2014-12-02 22:36:29 |

Well it was either a Zodiphyr or a Zephiac. I could not decide if straight chrome on front wing or Zodiac arrow. Yes - 207E for LHD |

Not sure of exact start/finish dates, but AFAIK all new UK Fords from mid-50s to late 60s had this system of xxxE as RHD and (xxx+1)E for LHD - Anglias, Populars, Prefects, Consuls, Z-cars etc. Also used on Cortina Mk1, Corsairs, Capri Mk1, Classic, but we don't use xxxE numbers on those because the numbers varied with engine size, which is visually not separable for our purposes. My guess is started with 100E Anglia, ended with 68 Escort as first pan-European design. Previous Exxx system did not use any LHD differentiation (so for instance E493A Prefect sat happily alongside E494A Anglia). +1-for-LHD also used on Thames commercials but we've only absorbed +1-for-LHD on the small vans, and probably should have bucketloads of 401E and maybe 501E for instance. |
