It looks very nice Barry.  :y

It also looks huge for what was originally a mid sized car .... I wonder what it would look like parked next to an Omega/Carlton/Senator  :-\

We've actually done something similar: a Triumph 2000 estate parked next to an Astra H estate is completely masked by the Astra.

I've parked my J next to an omega and the omega looked quite small.

Having said that, the omega is far roomier inside. The astra J estate has very little rear legroom.

That’s very red ;D

Nobody will drive into that


I quite like it, not sure about estate bit, but that’s down to my dislike of estates, despite their practicality.


Hope it serves you well

Never argue with stupid people, they will drag you down to their level & beat you with their experience.

You've met my friend who drove into the side of a London bus that he hadn't seen.

They're not quite the same. A shooting brake was used for carrying guns, and only has two doors - like an estate-based van
