Don't know everything yet but have my detective specs on. She was used in an insurance advert and was in Heartbeat. Full bare metal respray a few years back but sadly bubbling slightly already. Came from a good home who also has 1957(?) Hudson Hornet, Nice! Cracking interior but needs a good service! We've locked ourselves out the boot already Embarassed Mad
Reg used to end VW so whoever sold that was a lucky man!
One piece exhaust with cherry bomb. Vroom vroom!

My wife learned to drive in my 1962 Zephyr automatic, in about 1968. Obviously, she'd never driven auto before, and I asked her to pull up and reverse into a side turning. She stopped alongside the kerb, beautifully placed to do the maneouver. I waited for her to select reverse, but she didn't. When I asked her if she was going to select reverse, she said " you said it was automatic"! Bless her, she doesn't drive now due to invalidity, but we still have a chuckle over that whenever we see a Mk11 Ford. Thanks for the memory.
