Very nice usable classic and like he says rare these days. Pity its not tax exempt or i might have been interested.
Slammed and tiki wagon style with some nice pin striping and it would look well cool.

my parents had one when I was a kid too,not the estate though it's the first car I remember them having.
I like this yellow one I also like vauxhall magnums although you don't see many around.

it says it is "lowered using spring clamps" :shock: :shock: :shock: probably the scariest way known to man to lower a car. clamping the coil springs together to get the car to sit lower, like driving with spring compressors fitted. anyone who has removed a spring from a car before knows what pressure they are under and this car is sitting on four clamped springs. its a brave man who drives that. one chocolate m8 nut pops and you're in a ditch

I once saw a car that was lowered even worse,someone had heated up the coil springs with oxy acetylene until they bent and lowered,well dodgy.At least if a clamp falls off it won't do much harm,not that I would do it that way myself.
