Recently fully restored this Zephyr Six is in wonderful condition and ready for you to get in and go for a drive. There are some pictures from before the restoration so you can see the amount of love that has been put into the process of bringing this Zephyr back to life.
You can now benefit from all of this hard work as all you need to do is get in a go, there are a few small areas that need a little work, but this is your chance to add your touch to this wonderful classic.
When this car was collected the interior was no more than a steering wheel and the front bench seat. What the current owner has been able to do with that is amazing, there is now a fully complete and re-trimmed interior that is presented in lovely condition.
If we start by looking at the front bench seat, which is more than likely the original, we can see that it is presented very well indeed. Finished in a matching two-tone affair it looks stunning. The rear bench seat is much the same, presented very well for sale indeed.
To match the red colour pallet the carpets have also been replaced in favour of modern material. To help protect these new carpets the current owner has had a thick rubber over mat on top of them. As such they too look very good from all angles. Unsurprisingly the door cards are also in lovely condition, once again they follow the same two-tone colour pallet.
As we rise up the interior, we are presented with the full-width dashboard. It is here that you will find modern touches intertwined with original features. The current owner has fitted a modern radio, and some modern switches the operate some of the auxiliary lights. However, a lot of the original features still adorn this dash. The steering wheel, for example, this a lovely piece of 1960s design.
Above the steering wheel, you will find the characteristic linear speedometer, but a rare to see part is the gear selector screen that shows whether you’re in park, neutral, or drive. It is this display that makes this example very special.
Overall, the interior is presented in good condition indeed. The current owner has done a very good job of bringing this once sparse interior back to life. You will now be able to enjoy this car to its full potential from day one.
Isn’t this just a good looking car, the full-length front grille with its inset headlights and extra spotlights make it look the real deal. The looks are further enhanced by the striking two-tone paint job that has been completed on this example.
If you look at some of the historical photos in the gallery you will see that this car has had a few paint finishes in the previous years. From white and grey to this deep red colour with a contrasting white roof. The current owner chose the right colour combination for this car, you definitely won’t lose it in a car park anytime soon.
When the photo shoot was taking place lots of passers-by, both young and old, admired this car. Many compliments were expressed about the look of the car. This should be a good sign that it may be able to draw a crowd at a car show.
There is one area of the exterior that, at the moment, doesn’t match the rest of the exterior condition.
The current owner mentioned that they lost the brakes and had to choose between bumping into an Audi or a hedge, the hedge was the lesser of two evils and as such, some slight bodywork will be required on the front offside area. There is a patch on the bonnet that has been slightly deformed, and the indicator/sidelight cover is no longer present. There are also some marks down the front wing, but these should polish out. One of the previous owners put the car on these rather fetching, hot-rod-like alloys. The current owner has had these refurbished and they now look very good indeed.
Overall, the exterior is presented well, there is that small area of marking on the corner, but this looks like the only area of the exterior that’ll need some work.
Under the bonnet of this Zephyr, you’ll find a big and sturdy inline six, this engine turns over easily and bursts into life. All you then need to do is select drive on the column and pull away, it really should be that simple. Thanks to the nature of the automatic gearbox, it should be a very easy classic to live with.
The current owner did mention that there are a few expected clunks here and there out on the road, but don’t forget this car is approaching 60 years old.
You may also wish to source a new exhaust for this Zephyr, over the years the original has deteriorated, but this does not affect the usage of the car at all.
For a car of its age, this Zephyr performs well on the road. It drove to the location on the day of the photo shoot, turned around a couple of times, and then drove home. All of this was completed without any issues.
You should be able to enjoy this classic motor from the day of collection, simply swing the door open, jump in, and go. Hopefully, this car will create many happy memories for you in the years to come.
Thanks to its restoration this Zephyr is now ready for you to write its next chapter, wherever you go with this car will always be a treasured memory. After you have completed a little bit of work on the areas mentioned you will have a showstopper of a car. Don’t forget that this example has the added rarity of being an automatic.

Come funzionano le offerte massime
Il processo di offerta massima ti permette di fare offerte senza preoccupazioni.
Inserisci la tua offerta massima e il sistema farà offerte automaticamente per assicurarsi che tu sia il miglior offerente - fino all'ammontare da te stabilito come tetto massimo.
Anti-sniping
Car & Classic contrasta il fenomeno dello “sniping”, ovvero il fenomeno dei rilanci all'ultimo secondo per vincere l'asta.
Se viene fatta un'offerta nei 3 minuti prima della chiusura dell'asta, la scadenza di questa viene automaticamente estesa di 2 minuti per permettere agli altri offerenti di reagire e, se lo desiderano, di rilanciare.
Incrementi di offerta automatica
Se la sua offerta massima è uguale o inferiore al prezzo di riserva, la sua offerta massima sarà applicata per intero se lei è il miglior offerente.
Se siete il miglior offerente e fate un'offerta massima superiore a quella di riserva, la riserva verrà automaticamente inserita come prima offerta.
Una volta raggiunta la riserva, Car & Classic si assicurerà che tu sia il miglior offerente utilizzando solo gli incrementi di offerta indicati di seguito.
Vi terremo in testa fino alla vostra offerta massima O all'incremento più vicino alla vostra offerta massima, a condizione che la vostra offerta massima sia sufficiente a coprire il valore dell'incremento.

Superamento immediato dell'offerta
Quando piazzi un'offerta massima e questa viene immediatamente superata, questo significa che un altro offerente ha impostato una soglia di offerta massima superiore alla tua.
Puoi fare nuovamente un'offerta o impostare una soglia più alta di offerta massima e il nostro sistema rilancerà fino alla nuova soglia, cercando di portarti a essere il miglior offerente.
Offerte massime di pari ammontare
Quando ci sono due offerte massime di pari ammontare, quella impostata per prima è quella che viene considerata “migliore offerta”.
Pre-autorizzazione
Potremmo trattenere un piccolo importo di pre-autorizzazione sulla tua carta fino alla fine dell'asta, quando quest'ultimo verrà poi stornato. Se vinci, verrà prelevata una caparra che verrà detratta dal pagamento del prezzo di vendita per il veicolo e non comporta costi aggiuntivi per te.
Cosa sono le Offerte pre-asta?
Offerte pre-asta significa che avete la possibilità di fare offerte prima dell'inizio ufficiale dell'asta.
Verrà comunicato se si è il miglior offerente o meno all'inizio dell'asta.
