In 1952, in addition to the main British Ford factory in Dagenham, the Consul and Zephyr were assembled at Ford New Zealand's Seaview factory in Lower Hutt from knock down kits. The large Fords competed with the locally built Vauxhall Wyvern and Velox. When Queen Elizabeth II visited New Zealand as part of a Commonwealth tour in the early 1950s, she was pictured watching Zephyrs being built at the local Ford plant. The Zephyr was an executive car from Ford of Britain, the six cylinder counterpart of the four cylinder Consul.
