It's a great thing to be that invested in a car. Good to see. Thank you

[@Diggers-Garage]

@@sophiesharp1709 thanks for your very thoughtful comment and to appreciate my personal connection to this ever so pleasing motor car.

[@lascm5237]

Completely sympathise - I’ve had many cars over the years and own a couple of old classics which I love but my unlikely favourite and soulmate is my old Freelander 2 , take care of it well, enjoy keeping it in good health and know that non car people would never understand 😁

In every part of your soul..... my consul was bought when I was 8 years old, I'm now fifty, when I turn that key and she fires up!! Untouchable feeling. Great channel 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾✌🏾❤️

I wish a camera could pick up the aroma of this,the crisp clear winters morning mixed with cold vinyl and a touch of petrol ! I can't remember the name of it but there was a little gizmo in our house that thawed the locks!

Great cold start up and as much as i like to hold onto stuff that ashtay of ciggy stubs would have to go. My late ex father in law was old school driver/tinkering/never threw anything away and his lean to back of his cottage was a crammed pandoras box of everything motoring. Wesley from Last of the Summer Wine was just like my FILaw. Cheers

[@Diggers-Garage]

@@douglasthompson296 thanks for commenting and watching, this car has a fantastic history from being in a Ford showroom for 21 years when new and being only it's second owner I have no intention of every selling it. Guess I'll leave some memories behind in it's history but the fags will have to stay when asked by first owners daughter what was I going to do with the car my reply was simple preserve it and never let it leave my side.

Just... wonderful. Thanks for this.

I remember many" holidays in the 1970's though to the mid 1980's at perranporth Cornwall UK) where there was a taxi firm that were still using a lagoon blue V4 ford zephyr and a white ford Corsair, up until at least 1982 ) thanks for the video upload..

[@Diggers-Garage]

@@Mtandy-vm2pt thanks for the comment, it's no problem for these big old fords to just keep going and going if they are maintained.

Fabulous cars, I had a Mk 4 same as this in dark blue and what a wonderful car to drive. Many people now say they would not like the column change but once you get used to it as I had in a 1956 Ford Consul it is no problem. Thanks for this, good luck with her, brilliant car.

The draw of any channel is it`s owner. You are very easy to listen to and have made us laugh out loud on more than a few occasions. If the car side of things starts to fade, maybe talk about other interests in your life. Even if you are doing a daft little DIY job at home or something in the garden, I`m sure people would watch because you have the skill to make anything interesting and viewers may even learn how to do something. Good luck going forward and hope Mrs Digger is ok.

My dad had a 71 V6 Fanham estate ,my memories are of him doing the head gaskets ,and then did an engine change for a v4 ,.your videos bring back great memories ,then we got the zodiac excutive in mid 80s ,to be replaced sadly by a Granda .think the zephyr was such a handsome beast ,

Spot on video. Says it all. The neighbour used to run an XJR, now he's got a new EV, turns it on from inside the house to heat up before he goes to work. He's been bangin on about how good it is and how it costs him six quid to do 10000 miles or something like that. A mate of mine popped round on Friday night in his Ford pop which runs a supercharged Rover V8. The neighbours wife was outside and she said 'Now that sounds bloody gorgeous' I miss our Jag. We could see the neighbour from the front window but he wouldn't come outside🤣🤣

I agree 💯 as I've owned many" classic cars over 37 year's, there's always, been a few that have a connection with me for different reasons, one car in particular I've owned for 36+ years, i still drive her, sometimes . Love your zephyr, there used to be one with a very similar registration plate in Brandon Suffolk UK) in the early 1980's )

Me too, I remember 1982 very well, there were still quite a few ageing car's around in the UK from the 1960's and the early 1970's . I used to hear all the old car's, starting up on the walk to school in the winter)

I had the 3ltr Executive but life got in the way and sold it about ten years ago, now I'm looking for another Mk4 but not many around. Always loved the big old Fords, mainly had Falcons but when i came to the UK 20 years ago i started looking for one of these, really surprised me how few are about considering this is where they were made.

[@Diggers-Garage]

@@DomingoDeSantaClara thanks for watching and commenting, I do have some cars available mainly Zephyrs they are projects but excellent shells for cars of their age. Got a totally original LHD Zodiac pre production car that's one owner. Don't know if you are still looking

[@Comfortzone99]

Obviously old now but sometimes on the Zenith carb (36 IV) the float chamber warps a bit and lets in a bit of air at the top where it is screwed down, usually get away with a file and good gasket..

[@Diggers-Garage]

@Comfortzone99 thanks for watching and commenting, interesting point and very true but this car is on a autolight a little more refined and better MPG. Zenith always seems to feel more powerful but does use more fuel.
