Ford Zodiac MkII (206E)
Ford takes the large car down to the masses with a price-cut version of the Zephyrs. Colin Neale took charge of the styling for Ford's '3 Graces', the MkII versions of the Consul/Zephyr/Zodiac cars. Launched in early 1956, the Zephyr and Zodiac went into production first with 2553cc 6-cylinder engines, followed by the Consul with its 1703cc 4-cylinder engine. Carbodies of Coventry built convertible versions of the cars, and ED Abbotts of Farnham turned the cars into Estate cars. In 1958 revisions were made to the cars, including lowering the roof by 1.5inches to create the 'lowline' version. The Zodiac MkIII replaced the MkII in 1962 with a more flamboyant winged body.
