Junkman Posted January 11, 2018 Share Posted January 11, 2018 But when it comes to sheer landyachtiness, it's difficult to beat a '60 Mercury Wagon. It's even called "Colony Park", for those who still don't grasp what's going on. AMC Rebel, hennabm, Zantimisfit and 4 others 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Squirrel2 Posted January 11, 2018 Share Posted January 11, 2018 For me it has to be a L-R LWB Safari, with ‘tropical’ roof, preferably in Series IIA flavour.... Squirrel2 willswitchengage, Junkman, mercrocker and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zantimisfit Posted January 11, 2018 Share Posted January 11, 2018 The Queen has always looked to Vauxhall for a decent estate. These days she has an ex police dog handler unit Astra but in the old days if she was doing a run to the tip or picking up some extending ladders from B&Q she took the Cresta. She had this PA and later on a PC. This is why she is Queen. She had this PC well into the 1980s apparently. This is the first time I have thought of the Queen with lust in my heart! uk_senator, danthecapriman, Junkman and 7 others 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Uncle Jimmy Posted January 11, 2018 Author Share Posted January 11, 2018 OK, back on message. The 145 express, beloved of Swedish tradesmen and a service van version. Think the windows are just painted over, not panelled out. I believe the roof extension was steel on these rather than fibreglass so durable enough.

mercrocker Posted January 11, 2018 Share Posted January 11, 2018 Rear engined estate cars like the Imp Husky. Perfectly good idea. Two boots, innit? There was a time when I really, really, wished my Dad would buy one of these. Back then, by the way, Dads wore Tootal ties and bri-nylon shirts on the beach and smelt of Clan and Old Spice instead of being beanie hatted hipsters with beards like a Victorian cricket legend. Lowering the car meant you had a puncture... Had I grown up in Pennsylvania instead of the New Forest I would probably have wanted him to buy this..... Shame there was no Simca 1000 Chatelaine, NSU Prinz Kombi or Renault Dauphine Domaine to rival that Husky, though.
