Ford Zephyr

This picture shows me with my cousin Leanne in 1970. I don’t know for sure what the cars are, but the one on the left looks like a Mini and the other might be a Zephyr. Even if I’m wrong, I want to mention the Ford Zephyr, because when I was young I rather liked them. According to Wikipedia, the Zephyr was manufactured by Ford in the United Kingdom. Between 1950 and 1962, it was sold as a more powerful six cylinder saloon to complement the four cylinder Ford Consul. From 1962 the Zephyr itself was offered in both four and six cylinder versions. If I’m right about the picture it’s probably a Zephyr 4. They were manufactured from 1962-66.
