Dave7 Posted February 17, 2011 Share Posted February 17, 2011 Does anyone have an idea on the parts supply situation for a '59 Ford Zephyr? I'm considering one for reasonably cheap (pictures before) as a summer driver. They are reasonably uncommon in Canada but does anyone know a good online parts supplier for brakes and suspension bits over in the UK? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dollywobbler Posted February 17, 2011 Share Posted February 17, 2011 Zodiac Motor Services in Kent is probably your best bet. Nice choice of motor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

michael1703 Posted February 17, 2011 Share Posted February 17, 2011 front wheel cylinders are about £100 for the 4 fronts (cheaper ones available,but bad castings) rear wheel cylinders are £40 a pair I dont think you can get suspension parts as easily Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave7 Posted February 17, 2011 Author Share Posted February 17, 2011 Thanks. Those prices are certainly cause for concern though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hotford00 Posted February 17, 2011 Share Posted February 17, 2011 Looking at the under bonnet pictures it hasn't got disc brakes because there's no servo,so drums it is . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete-M Posted February 18, 2011 Share Posted February 18, 2011 Chap near me restores any Zephyr or Zodiac he can get his grubby mitts on, so if I remember I'll ask him next time I see him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mash Posted February 18, 2011 Share Posted February 18, 2011 No help at all, but I just wanted to say I love Mk2 Zephyrs. Really nice ones are fetching serious coin nowadays though. I always wanted one that pale pastel yellow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigstraight6 Posted February 18, 2011 Share Posted February 18, 2011 That is indeed a 'lowline', very desirable now these big Fords and easy too live with, as already said Newford are a great parts supplier as is Collecters car parts near Heathrow, there always seems to be plenty of MK2 stuff on ebay and it's well worth checking out the scene 'downunder' as these cars were very popular export fodder to Australia and New Zealand where their kinder climate has meant more survivors and repro parts suppliers!.....

peter9000uk Posted February 20, 2011 Share Posted February 20, 2011 Picture of a beasty I used to own back before I got married! Different colour when I owned it and didn't have the wanky scoop on the bonnet. And, no it isn't made from a Farnham estate before you ask! It started life as a saloon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
