IIRC the more rounded shape before the PA were known as the E series.The father of my very first "girlfriend"[we were only in infant school!] had a Wyvern.

No matter which model Cresta it is it'll most certainly be rusty!PA Crestas had I believe a 2.6L engine,not sure about the PB and I think PC Cresta/Viscount had 3.3L engines.
mine had a 3.3. I think mine used a gallon of oil a week.

 ;D  ;D Same here, every Thursday on the way to the supermarket we called in the garage for a gallon of oil

I had a Ventora back in 73, bought it just before they started issuing fuel coupons because of the shortage, never did get to use them.
In an attempt to increase MPG I fitted a 36/36 DCD Weber, did nothing for the fuel consumption but the sound was awesome.

I know that as a group we were knockin' on a bit. I just didin't realize how many of us and just how much. I feel quite young and spritely  :y  Let me see, '73 ? I would be early 20's
