In which case it was the Mk 4 Zephyr/Zodiac. These were initially designed to be front wheel drive and had HUGE bonnets but used V formation engines to shorten the block. however a chicken out by bosses meant that they went rear wheel drive at teh last minute but as they'd spent a fortune on designing the new engine it stayed meaning the engine bay looks almost empty
All the previous Zodiacs used straight 6's ( also used by Scimitar in the SE4 )
MK3 Zephyrs were either 4 or 6 cylinders ( 1.7L and 2.5 respectively)
whereas Mk2 " 4 cylinder" cars were named Consul....
