I seem to recall that vauxhall dropped a 2.3 litre lump into one of these back in the late seventies.
2300HS rings a bell.

The reason that car is so expensive is that you will have to pay a premium for the colour. Find another, as we experts say. ;D

That would have been far better with the green velour interior :D

I wonder if it's had a respray since "the event"? Remarkably well preserved if not. :-X

Chrysler did this much better; a bright green Sunbeam GLS was all the same colour, green velour trim, dash, doorcards and carpets. The whole car looked like it had been dipped in pond slime. I'll leave it to your imagination what the brown ones looked like. Red ones were a little hard on the eyes too. And my black one looked like a miner had ordered it.

Linden Green on the shovit if memory correct
EMD, I know what you mean about the green velour interior, I had a 2.5 Senator A2 in light green mettalic with the green velour inside. You needed sunglasses no matter what the weather in case you turned your head and saw the inside ;D :D

Correct. 2.3 slant, called the hs then it was evolution'd and became the hsr, better suspension, more power, big flared arches, prepared by dtv at shepreth (blydenstien), etc,etc. Yes albs did have one.
A car that if I had won on Saturday would be in my garage, along with a 400.

Must have been lethal. The 1250 one would hang the back end out on command. Then again, I'm guessing the HS wasn't on 145 section tyres. ::)

A quick Google throws up 135 BHP.
