These photos were sent to me by Robbie Paramor. This is his 1961 Zodiac parred with the late Mike Frankovich's 1956 Lincoln. It's a great series of photos and shows one of the styling influances that went into the Mk II Zodiac.

When I first heard of this car, it was for sale in northern Alberta as a 20,000+ original miles car. At the time Patrick Wilson discribed it as "the best Zodiac in the world" In the early 2000s the car was sold to Brian Lees in Vancouver, then to a guy in Michigan and then a few years ago to Robbie in southern California. Robbie and Mike Frankovich were Mk II buddies, going on drives together. Must have been a fine sight.

This would be the car that Gary is talking about. I took this picture in June 2003 when the car was for sale for CDN $2,000. It was in pretty nice shape. I have lost contact with the owner Ian Lalande, but he has a second Mk IV Zodiac as well that was in pieces. We ran a story on Ian's Zodiacs quite a few years ago. The runner is a 1968 model and was special ordered my the motoring journalist for the Toronto Globe & Mail (as I recall). Ian's second car is a 1966 model and appears to have started life as a evaluation car for Ford of Canada but was then sold to a private party who drove it back and forth from Ontario to California several times.

LHD Mk IV are pretty darn rare. These two cars might well have been the ONLY Mk IVs built to North American specifications.
