Those were the days

The Covid-19 pandemic has afforded me time to riffle through my Zephyr Mark One Convertible Register. The Auckland Consul & Zephyr Car Club, of which I was a founding member in 1980, prompted the latest search.

Fortunately, I could fill in the background of this car, and hopefully it won’t be too long before it is cruising the streets once again.
