End of an era, hope he finds something to do with his spare time, maybe he can go on a road trip in one of his fine steeds, probably best not to choose the Regata

Interesting article

Ahhhh, proper cars. I think I need some tissues.

I wonder if I'll ever feel the same about Vauxhalls...

[chrisgixer]

Has he been to Clacton recently.

[Elite Pete]

He's got a Carlton Estate for sale

Just the motor for TB:

Just the right goldy beige colour too

[Elite Pete]

I've got a couple of old Rovers and one is purple, perfect for tb

Just the motor for TB:

Can't see if it's got a beige steering wheel from here, but I've got high hopes for him.

Just the motor for TB:

I nearly bought a 820e in the late 80s. Hopelessly cheap for a decent enough drive, and quick enough for a youngster. The deal fell through, and I bought the POS Belmont that I hated instead

I still have nightmares about Goldie and its steering wheel.

Not Gold, gay apparently

I don't think I've ever been so far north of the speed limit than back in the early 90's when I went to pick up the usual shitbox Mk.3 Escort hire car that I had when visiting a customer site, only to be told they'd screwed up the bookings and I'd have to take the M.D.'s 827 instead.

IIRC, it was a bit floaty at <cough> MPH and needed 2 motorway lanes.

I had one for some time, when younger, friends took the Mick saying it was an old mans car, I LOVED that car, a real flying machine and not aware of any handling issues particularly unless turning hard left onto the A10 foot down......   I also did some Minicabbing in it as well as a chauffeur service back in the day.......

Not their worse car by a long way although early models had transmission problems iirc

I remember being at a couple of Hertz depots and saw several come back on a flatbed

They are like paragons of virtue compared to in my opinion the Princess what a piece of junk that was, they should have scrapped them as they were pushed off the production line

I remember testing a customers 6 cyl version, came along the dual carriageway to turn left, turned in nicely started to accelerate out of the bend and the torque steer nearly broke my wrist,  and the jewel in the crown Hydragas
