They weren't all white with a green flash.

As I prefer the later, brighter Diamond White, Ermine just looks 'dirty' to me ;D
My sister's Morris 1300 is currently a similar shade, and that will be repainted Diamond White with a Radiant Red lower.

Nice car, but OTT on the price imo, however, as we know, the value of a car is what ever someone is prepared to pay....... :y

If I had the money I would be buying a MK2 Savage Estate for sale for £25k, and about 60 Migs with the change........ :D :D :y

Crikey. I advertised a Mk1 for £600 in 1979 ( I bought it for £200) and ended up breaking it. Made just short of £900.

Nice enough cars but you spent a lot on maintenance, zero slab carrying capacity and any modern small hatch would be as fast if not faster.

Anyone remember the very brief works car flirtation with enhanced braking by opening the boot lid :o
