Bren Posted June 24, 2018 Share Posted June 24, 2018 I remember the controversy over the styling of the ford sierra estate and it's flat rear end. The SD1 estate was six years before this. Another wasted opportunity from BL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Another wasted opportunity from BL.It’s a good design, why BL didn’t put it into production when the likes of Volvo and Mercedes, Peugeot and Citroen had huge expensive estates is inexplicable.

chaseracer Posted June 24, 2018 Share Posted June 24, 2018 cos they were skint, and still fighting an all out war war with the TGWU. YAWN. Nothing at all to do with decades of shit management and infighting between the different marques, of course... <_> sheffcortinacentre, Vin, Talbot and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MorrisItalSLX Posted June 27, 2018 Share Posted June 27, 2018 I have always been a fan of the Triumph Lynx, by far the best incarnation of the TR7. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They look awfully put together.Yeah? Look like an Audi TT mated with a Nissan 350z...coulda shoulda. The ADO34 prototype (model) is a lil cutie, out dated grille aside, very like a Pug Pininfarina design. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
