In November 1971, as the MK IV range was coming to an end, Fords launched the Zephyr Special. The car was based on the Zephyr 6 Deluxe, but featured over riders, wing mirrors as standard, fabric upholstery, Zodiac style wheel trims and a push button radio. The car was painted in Uranium Blue, with a parchment white vinyl roof. Only 1000 versions of this model were made, and very few now remain. Fords ran a competition through all the dealers to find a suitable name to call their 'Special Zephyr', the winner deciding just to reverse the words and name it a Zephyr Special.
