I don't know the age of this car but the number plate format "3 numbers and 3 letters" suggests the year of registration would have been somewhere between 1955 and 1964. In the mid-nineteen-fifties the UK number plate system changed from "3 letters and 3 numbers to "3 numbers and three letters", and between 1963 and 1965 (depending on the issuing authority) a suffix year letter was added to make seven digits and letters.
Date of First Registration 25 03 1954

Ford Zephyr 211E 4 was introduced in 1962 to replace the Ford Consul MkII. The name "Consul" was dropped (it was instead given to the first Ford Consul Classics, Ford Consul Cortinas, and Ford Consul Corsairs). Mechanically the Zephyr 4 was very much as the MkII Consul, with the same 1703cc 4cylinder engine.

Ford Zodiac MkIII (213E) was introduced in 1962 and produced until 1966. Roy Brown's design for the huge body looked radically different from the outgoing MkII, but in fact underneath it differed little.
