Name the cars.

Comment by: Ken on 22nd July 2014 at 09:26

The one on the left is a rover the other a ford zodiac or zafier I think

The one on the left definately a Rover, on the right I think is a Ford Corsair

You are right, Ken. The car on the left is a Rover 2000 or 2500 and the one on the right a Ford Zephyr 4 or Ford Zodiac (as featured in early episodes of Z cars)

On the right is Cortina mk2. Had one in 1969, same colour. You are both right about the Rover though.

On second thoughts, the Corsair had more pointed front wings, a bit like a Corvette. Mk11 Cortina is a good shout

The car on the right is a Zephyr/Zodiac.

It's a Cortina mk2!

The car in front of you,(to the right) is a Ford Zephyr/Zodiac. If we could see the front of the car, I could be more accurate. The Zodiac had twin headlight with a straight six petrol engine. The Zephyr had single headlight and a straight four petrol engine, both cars were from the consul/zephyr zodiac range.

It definiteley isn't a Cortina Mk2, the front wing is the wrong shape, the back wing is nothing like a Cortina, the whole car is much bigger than a Cortina.
