Zephyr cars wallpaper

The Westminster was replaced about 1964 by a Ford Zephyr Mk 3. For police use Ford fitted the slightly larger Zodiac engine into the Zephyr 6 body shell. Although the Westminster had been a sedate old girl with reasonable handling, the Zephyr knocked spots off it, in my view, in terms of speed and handling. I would go so far as to say that this was my favourite patrol car throughout my service. It was utterly reliable and was a delight to drive. It had a good heater, too, compared to the Westminster, in which, in winter, we had to wear short overcoats known as ‘British Warms’, because the heater was none too efficient. The photograph (below) of the Mark 3 Zephyr is identical in every way to the patrol car I drove.
