AI Listing Summary

This 1955 Ford Zephyr Zodiac MkI, known for its appearance in Netflix's 'The Crown,' features a Dorchester Grey and Winchester Blue finish with a Continental spare wheel kit. It boasts a body-off restoration from its owner between 1990 and 2008, including lead-loading, a new wiring loom, and an engine rebuild.

Condition

7

While the car has undergone a full body-off restoration, new wiring, and engine rebuild, the zeroed odometer after the rebuild suggests the car has been driven since. The mention of slight wear on paint, interior or wheels points to some aging or use since restoration. A rating of 7 reflects the solid condition with minor imperfections typical of a well-maintained classic car that has seen some use post-restoration.

If this smart 1955 Ford Zephyr Zodiac MkI looks a little familiar, that's because it appeared in Netflix's very popular The Crown TV series, popping up in Series 2 episode 1 as the personal car of Commander Parker, the equerry to the Queen and Prince Philip.

Finished in Dorchester Grey and Winchester Blue and fitted with a rear Continental spare wheel kit, the car was first registered in May 1955.

Its owner from 1990 to 2008 was a professional panel beater and mechanic and he gave the car a full body‑off restoration, a photographic record of which is included in the history folder.

Where necessary, lead‑loading was used rather than any filler, and the Ford was also rewired with a brand new loom, while the engine was rebuilt with new pistons, rings and valves.

At this point, the odometer was zeroed.
