Nice vh (personal opinion on those is 15s or 16s suit the body better) but short rear bar so factory it'd be either a 202 or a thong slapper. Only the factory 308s had the long rear bar.

Never liked 70's and 80's cars with wheel bigger than 14 - 15in period correct sized rims.
Nothing worse than spotting a nice 70's van ruined with those stupid looking monster diameter rims.

Spotted this immaculate AU XR6 today.. when I saw the "P" plate I was sure hoping that a grandad owns it, and he lost his license... rather than an 19 year old "P" plater who will no doubt bend it.

Now I know where the Concorde look of the 70's van craze came from.

Mrs Wiz looks so young there!

Funny to think the van still has an iron block and recirculating ball steering, while the A310 was an alloy motor, mid mounted and R&P.

Hi Guys,
This Wednesday 9th of October i was looking out into our car park at work and there i spotted an original Red Ford capri V6. I went out and had a look at it, it was like brand new not a mark on it and also had normal Rego plates on it also and the inside was just as good as the outside.

There is a tidy Cortina Mark 2 getting around my suburb the other day. But I don't think its 'orange' paint work came out until the Mark 3? Come to think of it, it has been awhile since I have seen any other Cortinas.

Spotted this on the way home from work Friday..
Didn't get to hear it, but I can say it did a good skid at 60 kays an hour..
Guess the rego plate says it all. Noice!
