Is it a pick-up or a van or a saloon?

-  It's all three!! It's a PICKAVALOON. The best of three worlds.

And it handles like a sports car.

The best of four worlds. Four.

 

...and tries to look like an Ami6. That's five.

In 1971, near the end of 21 years of the production of Zephyrs, Ford did a competition where the prize was a new Zephyr. You had to suggest a name for the last 1000 limited edition models and Graham Hill would choose the winner. (Woooooooo !).

And the winning entry?

- 'Special Zephyr'.

Brilliant!!! Top effort. Well, thanks for that.

We got an NZ only Zephyr Special in Mk 3 form. A stripped out repmobile with a different grille, same style as z4 but full width round the lights.

The 1600 GT Wifeswapper Special, introduced in mid summer 1971.

With power bulge. Fnaaaaar.

She's not pissed you know.

Pah! I spit on your puny 1600GT. My family had a 2000GT in Amber Gold and that had a MATTE black bonnet. Snazzy!

Slightly hazy dusty summer 1969 pic. And someone's put a brick through the windscreen of that 1600E.
