Thanks Joe and Michael, I'm finding I am having to do more repairs than expected on this car, mostly mechanical as the body is sound,being more used to modern motors I'm finding this takes me back to when I first started on the spanners and love the simplicity of it, once I figure it out I will try to upload some photos and if I get stuck hopefully I can find answers here.

Hi James here from bootiful Cornwall. I have just treated myself to a 1964 Zephyr 6 as a little 50th birthday present for myself. I was originally looking for a Ford Anglia as it was my first car when I was 16 (bought from Cornish ford for£100) but realised they are a bit small for taking the family out in, this is when I came across the Zephyr. I never driven a column change before and I love it.Thanks for letting me join the forum I'm sure I'll have loads of questions.

Hi James, Another 6 in Cornwall, whereabouts, I'm in Hayle, if your close buy would be good to possibly meet up and compare motors!

Hi James, Another 6 in Cornwall, whereabouts, I'm in Hayle, if your close buy would be good to possibly meet up and compare motors! I know Hayle. A few years ago I stayed in the White Hart. It was a bit eccentric! Also discovered Warren's Bakery which served the best pasties I have ever tasted - the chef had gone walkabout. The Sunday afternoon music session was great! 🤣🤣🤣 |

Yeah Hayle, used to go there most years back in the late seventies early eighties some very mad nights in the Bluff up on the Towens. There used to be a great pasti bakery somewhere near the Birds of Paradise place....

Hi James, Another 6 in Cornwall, whereabouts, I'm in Hayle, if your close buy would be good to possibly meet up and compare motors! I private messaged James soon after he left his above comment asking where about’s in Cornwall he is as like you I thought if he was close by would be good to meet up following my thread I made earlier in the year regarding members in Cornwall/Devon. I only private messaged him in case he didn’t feel comfortable saying where he was for all to see on this thread but I’ve not heard back as yet. |

Sorry I haven't got back to you all been busy with one thing or another. I'm in St.Dennis near St.Austell so I'm pretty much in between Launceston and Hayle. A meet up after Crimbo would be ideal.

Let's see if we can sort something after Xmas, have to be a good day thought, the old girl doesn't go out much this time of the year, could do without encouraging the rust!
