As it looks like rain I thought it would be a bit of fun to compile a list of famous Mk III owners. I will start the list with Cliff Richard and Harry Palmer. Harry Palmer was the main character in the film “The Ipcress File”, played by Michael Caine. During the film he is issued with the keys to a blue Mk III Zodiac. Definitely more exciting than a diesel Kia!

Good idea, I hav'n't seen the film but in an exerpt from a film about Brian Clough, he was driving a mk3 Zodiac but I dont know if he had one in real life.

I saw a documentary about Ernie Wise and he had a (looked like) Midnight Blue Zodiac which they used to travel to France in. I was hoping to catch a glimpse of NEV 1C, the Queens modified Zodiac estate in the Royal familys recently released home cine footage but none yet.

I have seen the link to Cars in Films before. The idea is to get a list of famous Mk III owners, besides us  . I think that some of the pop/rock stars, footballers,etc. of the era owned Mk IIIs. I have very hazy recollections of a photo with one of the Stones in a Mk III for example. Diana Dors had a Mk II covertible and one F1 driver used to arrive in a Mk IV. It would be good to compile a list as fifty years have passed and before long the information willl be lost in the past. I remember seeing an article on someone who belived that a relative had died with many others in a serious fire a similar period of time ago and had been unable to find a list of the deceased, |

Brian Epstein, the Beatles manager had an early Mk3 Zodiac.
I have also see a photo of Prince Charles (or maybe it was Andrew) being taken to school in what appeared to be a black Mk3.
Just remembered, I was at a show once and Dame Judi Dench looked at my car and said; "We used to have one of those".

The royal household had a Zodiac MK3 estate with slightly raised roof.
