Default 2 more fords in the driveway

Our Ford family has grown, the zl has been semi retired, and will be getting club reg soon. Bought the daughter a series 1 eb on gas, for a grand total of $350 cost an extra $300 to get the rwc. Got the wife a series 1 au on gas, found it under a tarp on a property in tyers. Had to fell and cut up a few trees and the car was ours, even still had reg on it. Still going thru the rwc process, will need a windsreen and the lpg tank tested or replaced.

ZL would be the Fairlane version of an XF I believe?

Correct.


I have a soft spot for ZLs as it was the family car when I was really small. It was mint green with snowflake alloys, wish they didn't sell it.

I live about 10 minutes away from tyers, small world.
Nice find, 650 to get a car and get it on the road, no matter what kind of car is pretty good.

****, we don't know what a ZL is??? Grin and bear it, I will and remain positive, at least we know what they are now. (Yes a ZL is my daily.)

Sounds like a nice fleet Cpt.
