This Mk1 Ford Zodiac came to our workshop for a new carpet set and leather bench seat restoration.

Commonly known as a ‘Sleeper’ (one that looks more or less standard) this car packs a punch with a Mustang V8 mated to an automatic transmission. It was once raced by one of the legendary Ford tuning family The Harris’s, and was capable of 500bhp at the time.

Those that know me know I have a fond affection for the Mk1 Zodiac as my father owned one for more than 40 years.
