dsl ◊ 2011-05-30 22:59	Very likely - they're a Z4 as Z6 had chrome arch/sill trim.
cortina.chris ◊ 2011-12-06 16:34	all these farnham mk3 Zephyr estates were based on the larger Zodiac bodyshell if you look at the pic above you can see the bigger Zodiac rear lights!
dsl ◊ 2011-12-06 17:00	Agreed - all Abbot conversions started as Zodiac bodyshells due to the more suitable C-pillar arrangement. About 4350 Mk3 estate Zephyrs and Zodiacs were made and offered through Ford dealers as normal Ford models. Abbot also did the Mk2 estates (5643 made) and Mk4s (possibly about 2100 total).
