** We can deliver - Please give us a call to request a quote - Thank you.
Available now is this charming 1956 MK1 Ford Zephyr, finished in an eye-catching black and grey two-tone exterior that perfectly suits its iconic 1950s lines. The paintwork is respectable and presents well, with only light imperfections expected of a vehicle approaching 70 years old.
Inside, the Zephyr features period-correct red seats and door cards, complemented by a brand-new red carpet that really sets off the interior. It’s a classic colour combination that looks fantastic and stays true to the car’s heritage.
Under the bonnet sits Ford’s original 2. 2L straight-six engine paired with its factory 3-speed manual gearbox. Showing 39, 890 miles, this classic runs smoothly and starts with ease. Mechanically, it is in good order, especially for a vehicle of its age, and has just completed a 50-mile delivery drive to Man Cave Cars & Classics without issue. The engine bay is clean and tidy, reflecting decades of careful ownership.
As a Historic Vehicle, the Zephyr benefits from MOT and Road Tax exemption, making ownership even more enjoyable.
The chrome and brightwork are in very good condition, with only minor marks on the rear bumper, and importantly no rust or pitting anywhere on the trim or body. A standout feature is the period external front windscreen sun visor – a cool retro touch rarely seen on modern cars and a real conversation starter at shows.
Overall, this is a well-presented, mechanically sound MK1 Zephyr that’s ready to be enjoyed, displayed, or taken to the next level of restoration if desired. A wonderful opportunity to own a slice of 1950s motoring history.
