Yup,the Zephyrs were THE car to be seen in down here in NZ,when we were in our teens/early 20s.The venerable Mk 2 Zeph[1957-62] was THE cruiser in the late 60s/early 70s..Best way to pick up chicks down here,BUT...ya needed the Zephyr,those four cylinder Consuls just didnt cut the mustard... That model Capri only came in here in small numbers,mainly private imports,even less now,though there was a rusty LHD Capri a little bit south of here,languishing in a shed...dont know where it is now..
