Ford Zephyr Six MK 111 Saloon

Ford Zephyr Six MK 111 Saloon C Nov 1965 91,208 Genuine Miles Red with White Roof Manual Column Change Red Interior with Bench Front Seat

Rolling chassis in need of major restoration, welding & total re-spray etc. Off the road for over 20 years, project started but abandoned 7 years ago. Engine has new every-thing.

1 previous owner before my father purchased it in 1967, I took it over in 1980, the original logbook with the V5 confirms this. Have new V5C. Some M.O.T.’s.

Work already done, but remember this was over 7 years ago, new N/S front inner wing fitted, O/S front inner wing plated – needs a bit of tiding up before painting & re-fitting engine bay. Front wings & front panel still removed. N/S is fibreglass & has damage. Front struts were re-conned & all new steering joints fitted (the lot). Front brake callipers were stripped & new seals fitted. Engine built by a friend of mine who is a professional Volks Wagon BMW technician, the cylinder head is ready to be fitted. (Engine still on bench). Engine block was acid & alkaline bathed, bored with new pistons, rings & gudgeon pins. Crank had mains & big ends ground with new shells, dynamically balanced (ready for Nitrous!) with new Borg & Beck Clutch pressure plate in place. Cam is new & unused - Jeff Howl stage 2 - with new shells, followers & push rods; the timing chain and gears are all new. Rockers & shaft have been re-conned. Cylinder head has been slightly skimmed (for level only), valve seats were re-cut with all new valves & springs, & I got them to machine & fit valve guides. Oil pump re-conned. Gearbox was in good working order when taken off the road. Distributor has only done about 2K. Steering wheel (not yet fitted) is unused, but has developed some very - very small cracks.

Rear end rot is the main problem. Wheel arches inner & outer. Lower rear wings & where they join. Spare wheel well. Lip on panel in front of the boot lid behind rear screen, rear of sills. Interior has mostly been stripped out for welding, floor needs some work. Seats need work. Front door cards have had it, rear are OK. Slight damage to both N/S doors. Bumpers need chrome.

New parts which have never been fitted.
