Mk4 Z's are bloomin' well tasty and I'd love an Executive one day... Apparently Ford cobbled a few together with small block V8's in for 'assessment' (or just a bit of a laugh!) but the idea went knowhere...  Also the design that we know them to have now was picked rather hurriedly as I think a design that was contributed by an out of house design team was near to being picked but Ford GB wanted to keep it as 'all our own work' so we got the long nose, short bum design!!! The glorious Granada replaced these in '72 but that's another story... |

There was indeed...

Incidentally, I owned 2 of these, back in the late '80's/early '90's...would love another...

approx 20 ff 4wds where made & trialed by several police forces, they where all zephyrs fitted with 3.0 v6 autos & where paired with a matching 2wd versions both would be sent out on shouts,only 2 or 3 are thought to survive rumour had it that one zody farnham was converted.

know of an immaculate zodiac black with big v8 in it and centreline wheels roll cage the works
sits on a driveway highly polished never moves never started
old chap who built it just polishes it
bit grumpy looking as he stares at my jeep when i park outside cos my sister in law lives few doors away but all she knows is he built it from a standard car over several years and thats it

I am sure there was a magazine feature one of the Z FF's last year, if only I could remember what publication it was in...  About 25 years ago (when I was knee-high to a grasshopper!) there was and old boy a few streets away from me who had an immaculate Executive in Aubergine that was seemingly polished to within an inch of its life almost every day...!!! I doubt it survives (the same as the old boy  ) but if it does I hope it still looks as good today as it did then... I am moved to get one of these now... Even though we all know that The Sweeney was famous for the Consul/Granada the first car that Regan ever screeched up in was a Blue Mink (or similar) Executive and the rest, they say, is history  |

Just reminded myself of a Zody I saw in a garage a good few years ago. Was one of the last ever made in blue with a white vinyl roof. Probably still there and it was in v.good condition. Might pay a visit !

My old ones:    Would love to know what happened to them - last time I enquired with the OC, they didn't know. CLC 261H is still on the road, according to the DVLA, but PMR 402H hasn't been on the road since 1995. |
