The Zodiac version once again topped the range and came packed with luxurious fittings and equipment. Most Zodiac's came with two-tone paint and white wall tyres, leather upholstery and a radio were standard equipment. The Zodiac sold well throughout the lifetime of the Mk II range, production stopped in 1962 with the arrival of the Mk III.
