What does that do for (probably) the worst handling car Ford ever built !!
My abiding memory of that model was Oz driving one to Dusseldorf in the first episode of Auf' .... Sooo funny.
The only good bit about it is the dog.

I didn't know Ginetta made those - I wonder if they still do them to special order 
"That thing you're thinking - it wont be that."

“First prize in the 'most unusual design' category!” jokes Arthur, owner of this one-off car-camper.
In the late 1960s, kit car manufacturer Ginetta – “masters of fibreglass” – dipped their toes into building campervans.
Unfortunately the idea was short-lived and only one was made.
“I am proud to own it and display it at classic car shows," says Arthur. “Something as unusual as this needs to be shared with others.”
It is a unique vehicle, based on a 1970s’ Ford Zodiac executive saloon
fitted with a walnut dashboard and plenty of eye-catching instrumentation.
Stylistically the fibreglass exterior has echoes of yacht design with its sleek, sweeping lines.
The interior is lined with wood veneer and conjures up an image of a narrow boat cabin.

Not exactly correct, the Zephyr 6 had the V6 engine . IIRC the mark 4 was the first Ford with disc brakes all round, think I've still got the
windback tool for the rear calipers?

My uncle had one, he opened the bonnet. first the radiator, then a 2 foot gap then the spare wheel, another 2 foot gap and a tiny V4 engine pushed up
against the bulkhead!
If you can keep you head, whilst all others around you are losing theirs, you are not fully aware of the situation
