Ford Zephyr and Maserati Bora,
both names are wind's names.
MPC
I'm sorry, but we already had this one:
VW Golf Estate Wagon and Lincoln Zephyr: both cars are named after a wind...

back to the Zephyr Mk4.

Oops... :-[
There are too many links already done, I haven't checked all of them...

Is this one done already?

Both the Ford Zephyr and the Ford Consul had instead of Ford the model name on the front of the car:

back to the Zephyr Mk4.
Actually not a Zephyr Mk 4 but a Zephyr 4 so distinguish it from the Zephyr 6 (number of cylinders).
Opinionated but sometimes wrong

Actually that picture is a Mk III Zephyr 6, not a Zephyr 4!
Yves's picture was a Mk IV Zephyr (no 4s or 6s with that Mark) so it's a different car...

I wasn't referring to the photos that appeared just above my post, but to the Zephyr 4 that had been shown as having the spare wheel in the front. They were called Zephyr 4 or 6 (using a Cologne V4 and the Essex V6) in about 1967, but I have no recollection of the Mk IV designator - but then I wasn't interested in Fords then either.

Time to jump in.
This is a game, nothing more, nothing less.
Thank you Allan for pointing us to the right direction when it gets too imprecise.
metalshapes, don't give up...this thread is just for fun.
Usually I'm not too strict on this thread for 2 reasons, the 2nd is that I do not know more than you all about each car and I tend to rely on what you write.

The 1st reason is written on the 2nd line of this reply.

Citroen DSuper and Ford Zephyr Both cars have the spare wheel in front of the engine bay.
Ford Zephyr and Ford Consul     Both cars have instead of Ford the model name on the front of the car

If you do a search for Zephyr Mk4 that exact car comes up, multiple times.

Its the 4th version.

Models 3008 / 3010E.

It seems to me that the first requirement of a correction is, that its more accurate than the statement its correcting.


Otherwise, its just stifling progress and confusing matters.




This is a game, nothing more, nothing less.



I agree...

Right let's get this straight: Carnut tells me that the Zephyr 4 and Zephyr 6 were collectively known as the Zephyr Mk IV, and as I have always known the one posted by DeAutogids as the Zephyr Mk III I am happy to accept that.
What was going on, back up this thread, was cross purposes as my original point about the Zephyr 4 appeared below the DeAutogids Mk III and despite the fact that I quoted what I was referring to, that got missed (by DeAutogids in his post just after that one of mine - understandable of course).
I'm sorry if Metalshapes is upset, but perhaps, living in the USofA, he doesn't remember these appalling cars which Ford in Britain sold in the 1960s. As for corrections being "more accurate than the statement it's correcting" most of us believe we are doing so at the time and although it may confuse if we are not, I hope we can all accept with good grace that we can be wrong.

Sofar you have not been able to get me upset.
Just disinterested.

As PJ said, it's only a game so we won't get too excited about this.
But just for my 2 penn'orth:

DeAutogids was incorrect in his connection because he pictured the Mk III Zephyr 6 (the Mk IIIs were known as either Zephyr 4 or Zephyr 6 depending on the number cylinders they had) when Yves's car showed the Zephyr Mk IV (completely different cars which were never known as 4s or 6s whether they had the V4 or V6 engine and which said 'Ford' across the front, not 'Zephyr' anyway!)

However, all this is irrelevant because PJ has re-set the car at the Zephyr Mk IV anyway so all the subsequent Replies don't count!

So we need a connection with the Zephyr Mk IV now to continue the game...

Carnut, I know that my Zephyr was not the same version as the one which connected to the DS. I assume it needs to connect to the exact car?

Mk IV Zephyr and Lady Penelope's Rolls

Both featured prominently in TV shows that shared a plural name with a different car ("Z-Cars" and "Thunderbirds", respectively).

Believe so, yes, but this is PJ's puzzle so his say-so counts!

Both cars had 4 front and 2 rear wheels (hope we haven't had that one before but there are so many pages to go through now that haven't the time!)

:thumbsup:
We had this: both cars are named after the same animal (wild horse) in the respective country (Mustang - Brumby ), but yours is different.
(hope we haven't had that one before but there are so many pages to go through now that haven't the time!)
Don't worry, I will take care of that...  ;)

Usually I'd like to connect the same car, but as you can see, there is often a nice connection between the makers, the founders, the badges, etc, were the model is not that relevant at all.
In this case, we took the right direction.  ;)

Nissan Leopard     and     1989 Citroën XM

Citroën XM and the Peugeot 605

Both cars where designed on the same chassis and had Italian designers( Bertone/Pinninfarina), but both where taken way to fast into production which caused many problems and made them very unreliable the first years of production.
