IkarusJohn Posted October 24, 2022 Share #18681 Posted October 24, 2022 (edited) Advertisement (gone after registration) Vauxhall Victor FB series VX4/90, late 1961 Edited October 24, 2022 by IkarusJohn Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
wlaidlaw Posted October 24, 2022 Share #18682 Posted October 24, 2022 (edited) My uncle proudly arrived at our house one day in the late 1950's with his first new company car, the earlier FA incarnation of the one above, in grey of course. He was a bank manager in Aberdeen, Scotland. My father walked up to it and pointed at the unusual reverse slope/upside down quarter light (to go with the wrap round windscreen) and said to my uncle: "George please tell me they did not do that on both sides of the car". Cruel I know but my uncle was a rather pompous man and very Aberdonian (parsimonious), with zero sense of humour, so needed to be teased from time to time.

My Dad's first company car was a Mk1 Cortina which our neighbours and their kids always looked down on because they'd just bought a posh Vauxhall. Apart from the time our fox terrier ate the interior it only ever needed to go to the garage for it's service. The Vauxhall on the other hand was a good source of jokes in our house whenever we saw their Dad walking home. Welcome, dear visitor!

IkarusJohn Posted October 25, 2022 Share #18689 Posted October 25, 2022 Just now, stuny said: I wonder if a La Ferrari or an Enzo is in Auckland? I doubt it. There are car collectors here, and we do see quite a few high performance cars on the road. Just up the road from me, there's McLaren, Ferrari, Lamborghini, Aston Martin, Bentley, Porsche etc dealerships. Anything like a La Ferrari, Enzo or F40 will be in secure storage. You're heading the right direction, though, Stuart. Welcome, dear visitor! As registered member you'd see an image here… Simply register for free here – We are always happy to welcome new members!

stuny Posted October 29, 2022 Share #18697 Posted October 29, 2022 While Wilson recuperates, lets do something a little bit differently. The car below belonged to a celebrity, and that's what you must identify since there's nothing challenging about identifying the huge Cadillac Eldorado: Welcome, dear visitor!
