Would have been an early Vauxhall Cresta, the one before the big Flat/square-ish shape..60's. I had a MK2 Zephyr 6 convertible with the Red Jackall
hydrolic roof mechanism, then bought a MK3 Ex British Embassy car from Switzerland ( well not from swizerland but from the Embassy guy ) now that had a few mods that never came from Ford one of witch was a V8 engine and floor change gearbox with overdrive on top only. Went like Sh1t of a chrome shovel but could empty the fuel tanks ( yes 2 of ) in very short order. Weight was close on 2 tons...with what we now know to be bullet proof glass and armored doors, two batteries in the boot. Also a long steel box with lock hasp, no rifle thou :lol: Guess the colour! :D

I did a bit of digging and my memory is a bit fuzzy and mixing things up a bit: the blue car was my father's Singer Vogue and dear uncle did drive a Zephyr. 1971 this was.

Singer Vogue, early models had a round speedo, later (Hunter shape) had rectangular with a needle.

Hi bud, I had a Relinat Supervan Mk3 (typo in the log book), a mate had a Bond Bug for a while, was the most horribly uncomfortable thing I've had the misfortune to sit in

I had an Isetta Bubblecar, very comfortable but could have done with a set of wheels on the roof. My gran couldn't get into a car but she could back into the Isetta relatively easily. So I had to take to the hospital, shops etc.

I was slightly too young for one of those. Looked fab, but were utter rubbish. Of course, they are sought after these days by strange people....

Original Panda or the new one?

Either way, I bet they look good in yellow :)
