Ford Zephyr 6 - 33b

I've always liked this Matchbox Zephyr, a good likeness of a very handsome car. This is a repaint, someone has taken the trouble to drill out the rivet, dismantle and repaint it. They've generally made a nice job except for the over-obvious brush strokes in the metallic paint. No matter it is nice.

The Zephyr 6 (33b) was introduced in 1963 and it remained in the range until 1968. They are all sea-green in colour, paler than the repaint pictured below. The only variations are in wheel colour being available in grey, silver or black. It is a popular model and will always get a reasonable price. the order of desirability in descending order is: grey wheels > silver wheels > black wheels. Mine has silver wheels.
