I think Zephyr, because it appears not to have the full-width reflective panel between the rear lights that a Zodiac has. I don't know whether that was something deleted on the Abbot Conversion, though.

Nice reference example. About 2100 Mk4 conversions done by Abbotts on Mk4s, including Zephyrs alongside Zodiacs and sold through Ford dealers as normal Fords. -- Last edit: 2010-11-07 01:01:27
