224 Ford Zephyr Six (Mark 1) Estate Car (1955) OOU 827 by Robert Knight Via Flickr: Ford Zephyr Mk.1 Convertible (1952-56) Engine 2262 cc S6 OHV Bodies Abbotts of Farnham Registration Number OOU 827 (Hampshire) FORD (UK) SET www.flickr.com/photos/45676495@N05/sets/72157623665118181 The Zephyr Six 2262cc six cylinder engine produced 68 bhp (lively for the time), giving a top speed of just over 80mph. Like the Consul the transmission was by way of a three-speed gearbox, controlled by a column-mounted lever (three-on-the-tree). Front suspension was by what was later to be called MacPherson struts, with a conventional rear suspension of live axle with half elliptical springs. The Ford Zephyr Six was available with four-door saloon, estate, and two-door convertible bodies. The convertible version was made by Carbodies and had a power-operated hood; the estate car was by Abbotts of Farnham and was sold as the Farnham.
