Ross & Yvette Worner's MkII Zephyr

Another interesting find that President Philip might be interested in, was a copy of the 1960 British Road Code, which under one section states that " before moving off, every driver must check that his licence is not out of date, and that it has been signed in ink!!"
It didn't take a lot of work to get it roadworthy again, and once re-registered we were able to drive it around in its original state until 6 years ago, when we got it repainted and did the clutch and other bits and pieces. It has now done 96,000 miles in which time we have been to 3 Connections and 1 Convention.
It has been used on three occasions as a wedding car, the last time being our own daughters wedding in February this year, With the help of several other club cars, it was an all Zephyr affair.

Our 1962 Ford Zephyr has rather an interesting history,
A spinster lady from Christchurch ordered it directly from the Dagenham Factory. She travelled to England in 1961 and picked it up herself. After driving it around England and Europe for six months she shipped it back to Christchurch arriving in April 1962 with several thousand miles on the clock, so I suppose our car might have the distinction of being a very secondhand import.

When she died in 1985, the car had 88,000 miles on the clock. It was bought by a guy who put it in a shed for 11 years until we bought it in 1996. It had only done 50 miles in this time.
When we got it home and cleaned all the dust off it, we found the original plastic covers on the seats. In the glovebox we found a book the all visitors obviously get when they visit the Dagenham factory, a road map of Europe, one of England, a copy of the English Poultry News dated Nov 1958. And a couple of London parking vouchers.
