The Interior
- Lovely brown seats
- Colour matching interior features
- Ready to go
The interior of this Zephyr is a wonderful place to be, filled with wonderous vintage fittings and finishes. With wide bench seats and a colour matching carpet, this interior is ready for you to jump on in and take it on some adventures around this country, or Europe wide.
Looking at the front and rear bench seats we can all see that they are presented very well with the material looking amazing when contrasted against the colour coded green interior panels. It is thought that at some point in the past this material has been renewed and updated, but there are no invoices to back this up.
The door cards and carpets also match the colour and tie that whole interior together nicely.

One of the areas that you may wish to refit is the headliner, over the years it has gained a few stains here and there. However, it is more than likely the original headliner that came with the car almost 70 years ago, so you’d expect some wear and tear. You never know it may come back with a bit of elbow grease and strong fabric cleaners.
The boot section is large enough and you should have no issue fitting a few weekend bags in for all of those weekends that you will now spend touring the country going to some glorious vintage shows. As you can see the boot has been carpeted and this is where you will also find the spare wheel and jack.
Overall, the interior is in fairly good condition. The main elements are all in place and are presented well, it could just do with a bit of a tidy up around the edges and it’ll be an amazing interior for you to enjoy.
The Exterior
- Great looks
- Sort after sun visor, side light, and spotlights
- Lots of chrome elements
It is a shame that modern cars don’t look like this, the simple sweeping lines of this Zephyr are truly beautiful, and this little classic will sit pride of place within your collection. The lines are further enhanced with the green paint and lots of ‘50s extras like the chrome and spotlights.
As this car has sat within a barn sleeping soundly for the past few years it is no surprise that the paintwork is in generally good condition, there are a few small areas that may need a bit of a touch up, but these shouldn’t put you off this wonderful looking car.
To help complement the green paint this Zephyr is dripping with chrome from front to back. Luckily for you, the condition of this chrome is good with some minor pitting but no major areas of obvious corrosion, with a bit of autosol and an afternoon this chrome should come back to its former glory.

Overall, the exterior is in very nice condition, and you will spend countless hours just staring at this car in your collection.
The Mechanics
- Starts, runs & drives well
- Manual gearbox
- With a little work, it’ll be excellent
The Zephyr Six gets its name from the inline six that was fitted under the bonnet, this provided a bit more power than its little brother the Consul which only had an inline four. Once you get this Zephyr dialled in properly it will run like a dream.
Luckily for you, the engine fitted to this Zephyr Six runs quite well, although it has sat in long-term storage after a little bit of fettling by the current custodian it came straight back to life. It starts with a bit of choke and after it has warmed up it’ll idle nicely. You may wish to do some further fettling on the carburettor to get it into a perfect running window.
Some of you may not be used to a column shift, but it is all part of the classic car charm. Once you get the hang of the gearbox you will be able to enjoy every trip out in this wonderful little classic Zephyr.
This is going to be a great little runner for you to pottle around the country lanes and to car shows up and down the country during the summer months.
Summary
After a little bit of TLC has been undertaken with this Zephyr you will have one amazing classic car, this will sit pride of place within your collection from day one of your ownership.
This Zephyr is filled with character and has its own personality, a personality that you will fall in love with throughout your time with the car. Don’t miss out on this opportunity to spend many happy hours at the helm of this beautiful classic.

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.
| Ammontare dell'offerta | Incremento |
|---|---|
| Da £0 a £9,999 | £100.00 |
| Da £10,000 a £49,999 | £250.00 |
| Da £50,000 a £99,999 | £500.00 |
| £100,000 + | £1,000.00 |
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.
Problema con l'offerta
Le offerte sono contrattualmente vincolanti. Per tutelare l'utente, sono previste alcune regole nel caso in cui si ritenga che sia stato digitato in modo errato. Si prega di controllare e modificare quanto inserito.
