I had this car for my wedding day with with George too that was recommended by one of my friends
Oh that’s fantastic! Hope you had a great day and thank you for sharing so you have any pictures ?
The car looks absolute stunning a real credit to him and his wife .❤
Thanks for your comments Paul glad you enjoyed the episode
Really nice restoration , the red almost looks like candy red . There used to be lots of them here in New Zealand. Some people nicknamed them "Maori Canoe , rhyming with Mark two.
Thank you for commenting love the rhythm
My dad had a two tone pastel blue & white one . Three on the tree
Beautiful Zephyr, like you said, I picked up a Zodiac MK2, when I was young for £30. I have regretted selling it ever since!
Young and not having the money to keep it. Those 2553cc engines are so good. Gorgeous.
Thank you for your comments Chris
What a beautiful car. Clever, skilled work to achieve such quality. Thank you. Peace and goodwill.
Thank you for your comments 😊
Immaculate! Every credit to you. Love the old Ford straight sixes. Wonderfull sound ❤
Thank you for you comments Jan
Love the Zephyr growl
Yes it’s fabulous John
I love this - the Mk IIs are definitely very rock 'n' roll! 😂🤣
Yes very much so MBBetts
My dad took us all out to New Zealand around 1961 and we took a brand new Regency grey mk 2 Zephyr with us. I loved that car, I was 11 or 12 and it was the best. Red bench seats and fabulous machined aluminium right across the dash!
Great memories John thanks for sharing
Very tastefully restored, great video thanks
Thank you David for your contribution
Love it, what a great job. My Dad had a brace of Consuls and Zephyres and a PA Cresta. When I started driving in 1977 I had 2 PA's myself and sadly, never got the white Mk 2 Zodiac I hoped for. The car is a credit to the owner and his wife. 0:04 0:04

Thank you Mark for commenting
ITS MAGNIFICENT
Yes lovely colour , do you own a classic?
Stylish 😊
Yes,it’s a real beauty Robert
The engine had a certain sound to them . Always knew when was approaching from behind by the sound of the engine
What a beauty! Kudos....thanks for posting.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Gorgeous colours. Looks good enough to eat.
They are! Not sure I’d want to eat on though 😊
I had two of these back in the late sixties, a red manual and a green automatic. Great cars apart from the wipers.
Thank you for sharing John please subscribe 😊
It's a lovely car, I actually had 3 of them, just a few to many accessories spoil it in my opinion. Still, a really nice restoration.
Glad you enjoyed it please make sure you subscribe 😊
Stunning
Yes it certainly is, do you have any connection to the Zephyr?
@datbs I don't have a connection to a zephyr I have an mgb gt and love all classics but I'm often found searching for larger classic options to accommodate my family and sit alongside my mg sports car
@@alexpanting4177 please send us a picture of it I like to post our viewers car downatthebarns@gmail.com
@datbs a few odd pictures sent, have a great day
@@alexpanting4177 great will post on our community board
excellent
Thank you
My family had a couple of Zephyrs from the early 60s. Of all the cars we've owned, I always considered them the worst. Mom went from the Zephyr to a Datsun 510. This Zephyr looks very pretty - likely the coolest one in the world!
Thank you for sharing your thoughts 😊
They are one of the best cars from the 50’s/60’s not sure why you think they are the worst
My brother had one . Felt cool as driving it . A real chick magnet, or at least that’s what us guys thought 😀
Thank you for sharing Neville make sure you subscribe do we can bring you more content you might enjoy 😊
I would like to hear how it sounds - can't hear a thing with that 'music' ...
I liked it better in original guise and grey before he added all the bells and whistles.
great video and car, can't beat a mk2
Thank you Shaun for your comment 😊
Mk2 is poo poo crap car
I think you have the steering wheel upside down, the two bars coming from the middle should slop down not up, but hey what a super car, take care Tim..
As it’s not my car I wouldn’t know the answer to that but thank you for sharing your thoughts on the video Timothy and please subscribe to the channel
No they shouldn’t. They should slope slightly upwards, like the one in this car
