johnfromstaffs ◊ 2009-02-03 14:14	The identification points to tell a Zephyr from a Zodiac are not easy to see but I think that this is a 1957+ Zephyr Mk II. Definitely not a Consul, nor is the other Mk II from this film.
Sunbar ◊ 2009-02-03 14:22	Agreed that looks like a Zephyr grille and not Zodiac.
johnfromstaffs ◊ 2009-02-04 10:04	After a quick check in the books I see that these cars were introduced in February 1956, not 1957 as I thought. Please amend for the sake of accuracy.

The Zodiac grill looked like this /vehicle_55221-Ford-Zodiac-206E-1956.html which is without centre badge and has a moulded (white metal?) top part. It looks like it has the high roof which might say this is a 1958 only.
