Re: having another classic, I think I'm happy too. I wouldn't mind picking up one of the last VF Calais wagons as it is to me the classic 'Kingswood' or 'Premier' wagon of the future, with it's white stripes on the seats like the HJ GTS, and lots of chrome cos I like chrome the more the merrier. To drive them they are quite like the Kinga 202s - not the greatest amount of torque in the world, but really good paint, fit and build quality, simple (except sludging, timing chain), good looking and smooth and comfortable around town.
Other than that, covid saw the young one buy a 90's Disco and I've been enjoying the classic and traditional 4x4 zeitgeist vicariously through his exploits. Amazingly, it's more reliable than his mates' equivalent-age 4x4s and equally capable, so a healthy respect has developed for it. Yes you get leaks. The overall engineering is really well thought out.
