I think there was an old hearse for sale on Adverts.ie some time ago, a red one, DIE reg. number iirc? The JPI reg. estate's a beauty, have an IMPY dinky one, one of my favourites.

I have just acquired this. DIE 222. Cool reg for a hearse. She needs a bit of work though. I,m getting quotes for bodywork and painting at the moment, but I need an engine rebuild.Would you have any idea where I can get info on this. Thanks

hi karlmac , best of luck with your new purchase ,

not sure if your hearse is a zephyr or a zodiac ??

id say its the later but if not i have a spare 4 cylinder zephyr engine under the bench here if your stuck !

i probably have a few more bits if you need them , i know i have a mint bonnet doors and boot lid from a zodi executive up in the loft .

pm me if you need anything , regards terry .

Hi Terry,thanks for that. She is Zodiac with a 6 cylinder engine. Would you have any parts for this or do you know where I can source them?.
Regards Karl

oh right apart from the doors and that i dont have any zodiac stuff unfortunately , there is a chap in the uk that i deal with a lot , he is over and back to kildare regularly and he breaks a lot of zodiacs and zephyr's , i will pm you his details , he might be worth an email or phone call .

The Red Ace

Looking through the photos it brings back great memories from my youth , had a navy blue Zephyr 4, OIU 506, in its latter days of my ownership the gearbox gave trouble and I remember fitting a box with overdrive. Anybody remember the old taxi man in Tuam who was still using one for work until the 80s, it was Galway regd?

my ould fella was just talking about that taxi man the other day , he used to go to galway from sligo on a regular basis and he used to have to go through tuam and he would always spot the balck zephyr in the square !!!!

I wonder was the black taxi replaced by a green Cortina Mk V that was a taxi in Tuam well into the 90s, always based around the Square.



another I spotted in Terenure in 2013
