Good points:- Totally cool, a real cruiser & very rare being the "posh spec" Cresta.
Bad points:- The dashtop & vinyl roof repair/replacement won't be cheap & being as silver is nearly impossible to match the key damage would need the whole side painted to do the job properly so you'd have to throw about a grand at it.

   Still, if i had'nt just inished the Consul........ ::) 8-) 8-) 8-)

Would that be an FD Victor parked next to it in one of the pics, perchance??

On the one hand, sad that I recognised one from such a crimped piccy but, on the other, shows perhaps how much I lusted after such a road behemoth back in the day...

Ended up with an HB Viva instead!   ;D
