We would like to take this opportunity to thank you all for joining us each week and to wish you a very happy Christmas/holiday.

The Mk Il Ford Consul, Zephyr and Zodiac were announced on February 21st 1956. Convertible versions of all three models were available right from the launch.

’Tis the season to be jolly. We decided to start the festive season early this year and, as it isn’t against the law, the decorations are already up. Chances of a Christmas meal are slim, but we won’t be - not after the amount of food that we all have planned. Come and take a look at what we have been doing because after Christmas we won’t be able to...
