    I placed several photos of my latest Station Wagon in ENGLISH FORDS area of the Gallery.

    This car, built in 1965 by Ford, Dagenham, Essex, England, was added to by coachbuilders Abbotts of Farnham and became a Ford Zodiac MKIII Farham Estate Wagon. Original design from Roy Brown (Edsel fame), as a matter of record.

    Powered by a six cylinder SOHC engine through a ver rare floor mounted four speed transmission (Most had column mounted shifts) she has a top speed of 107 MPH and proved to run with traffic at over 80 MPH with ease on her way from the Port to my facilities. She has just over 41,000 miles on her and has been carfully maintained, is possibly one of around eight complete still running. This one is added to the Zephyr MKII Farnham Estate I already have owned for a couple of years (Or more) and my Ford Cortina MKIII Estate. Plus many other wagons.

    I also placed another photo of my Vauxhall Friary Estate in the (Ebglish wagons) Vauxhall album, taken in the winners show at an All British meet in Oxnard, California. (Only wagon that trophied that day)
