Lovely cars, but some fucking awful colour schemes.

Well the Fords in that era also had bronze and yellows whilst BL had Old English White (just dirty) and Harvest gold!!
Nice those P6, I had one. Smooth ride, lovely seats, interior just smelt nice, skinny large steering wheel and that long ribbon speedo was a joy to look at. Certainly you get to see the ribbon well cause the acceleration was not thta rapid that you may miss the ribbon's progress.
I didn't have the V8 so yes instrumentation was quite basic. But had a pull out emergency fuel tap which always came in handy when running the tank low befor erefilling due to lack of funds.
That's, maybe, worth keeping.just bought a mk1 mondeo as a gap car til i get something decent. only 35k miles and 20 years old with a full main dealer history. one old man owner, spec sheet from dagenegam motors shows he wanted a cassette player not a CD player. mad. I dont own any cassettes. drives like new but as he was very old, the bumpers are destroyed as he drove it until his family confiscated it and got his licence removed. cost me pennies to buy
Do you have shares in a refinery?I've just bought another RX-7. I've gone from never seeing them to owning two and a half in bits.

The pictures really do not do it justice the 1.3 boxer engine

Crossed paths with one of these yesterday, been a long time since i seen one. Proper barge
Suffice to say, i instantly thought of this thread
Vauxhall/Opel Senator. Great car in its day. 3 litre, comfortable, and quick. Mate of mine had one he traded it for a Jaguar which looked better but wasn't a lot better to drive etc.Eew! Wot is it? Is it a Vauxhall or Opel of some sort? It's got that blobby - been left in the sun too long - look about it.

It's a 2nd gen Vauxhall Senator. I don't think anyone ever paid their own money for own. They were usually company cars for Finance Directors at sofa factories.
Thought it might be a GM something - General Motors Holden used to make a similar looking atrocity in Oz. A mate of mine at uni had something similar - called a Holden Commodore. In its defence; it was very pre-loved, but I drove it once - it squeaked and rattled, and handled with all the aplomb of an over-warm one of these -
They squeak and rattle when they are brand new and have the worst interior fit and finish of any car produced by a non-communist country.
Its a fucking senator! Same era as thisEew! Wot is it? Is it a Vauxhall or Opel of some sort? It's got that blobby - been left in the sun too long - look about it.
I'm guessing you've never been in a Paykan.
I lurved my Hillman Hunter . . . . . lol!!
Looks like an Hillman Avenger pretending to be a sports saloon, my first GF's dad had a bog standard Avenger as a company car, only thing he disliked more than me.it would be a rare day you see one of these. if anyone here recognises it
Sexier and rarer than an RS but never as sought after.
