1969 Ford Zodiac MK IV Executive review from UK and Ireland
"A real looker. Very comfy, but dear to own!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Needed a new exhaust at 45000 miles.
Needed the gearbox rebuilding at 50000 miles.
Needed a new universal joint at 52000 miles.
Needed a new track control arm at 52000 miles.
General comments?
When I obtained the car it was 33 years old so don't judge too hard!
Performance of manual version is about the same as a 2005 standard spec Focus! 0-60 mph in ten seconds.
Supremely comfortable with acres of legroom (15' 6" long!).
Thirsty by today's standards, returning 15 round town, and up to 25 on the motorway at a steady 60. Approximately 22mpg at 70mph.
