1953 MK1 Zephyr Zodiac

This MK1 Zephyr Zodiac is in its final stages of the build.  Entering its 4th year in the workshop, this car is a prime example of one of our customers coming to us with a dream and going the distance to turn this dream into a reality. 

Stevie has owned this car for over 20 years.  The chassis was built in the late 80’s and is very typical of the time.  It had been in various workshops but it came to Mikey in late 2021.  It came in with a butchered body and extensive sheet metal work was carried out to rectify this.

This is a modern twist on a classic Pro Street build.  A full original zodiac steel body on an 80’s built box section/tube chassis which has been modified and updated to make it safer and to accommodate all upgrades done to the build.  All work has been carried out to the highest standard and to the customers specification.
