Bren Posted February 2, 2019 Share Posted February 2, 2019 About £3200 too much for most of us on here. Good luck with sale - it looks fit. Lord Sterling, LightBulbFun and holbeck 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doctormop Posted February 2, 2019 Share Posted February 2, 2019 Wrong end of the country and no garage or suitable undercover storage space so probably not the most helpful of comments but that is an absolutely gorgeous carGLWTS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

drivewaymyway Posted February 2, 2019 Share Posted February 2, 2019 Once in a lifetime bargain !! I have never owned a Vauxhall ( Great British brand ) but a great old girl like this catches my attention.. I can't do it justice though, it should really be garaged between Sunday drives in the Country ... GLWS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eddyramrod Posted February 2, 2019 Share Posted February 2, 2019 it should really be garaged between Sunday drives in the Country ...No it shouldn't! It needs using regularly for all the purposes a car was designed for! Take it to work, go shopping, visit family, take holidays... however beautiful they are (and this certainly is) they're not Art! binhoker668, Dan_ZTT, puddlethumper and 4 others 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fabergé Greggs Posted February 3, 2019 Share Posted February 3, 2019 Very nice! Those rear lights aren’t original though right? Is this a 2 speed or 3 speed auto? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adw1977 Posted February 3, 2019 Share Posted February 3, 2019 Very nice! Those rear lights aren’t original though right? Would have had vertical light clusters originally Bfg and Cavcraft 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amishtat Posted February 3, 2019 Share Posted February 3, 2019 Seem to remember Powerglide is the two speed auto, after about 1969 or so they got a three speed. Not sure what the front seat is from (possibly PB Cresta?) but that's probably an FB Victor steering wheel too. warren t claim 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dick Longbridge Posted February 3, 2019 Share Posted February 3, 2019 Lovely looking thing. For a second, I thought it was this one from the blue, but heavily played with. Vauxhall were getting it so right with their cars in the 60's through to 80's. Rocket88 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

59Impala Posted February 3, 2019 Share Posted February 3, 2019 I do like a Cresta, did have a nice PB back in about 1986, no photos to hand though. So here's a couple of my PC with a slight rake and excellent flame job, sorry for appalling old photo quality. And no I didn't do the customisation, only bought it because it was cheap. Like a tenner cheap. Other 70s customs there for comedy value. Skizzer, eddyramrod, Amishtat and 4 others 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was just an observation and I may well be wrong on the year. Mine was a 72 and a three speed auto Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dick Longbridge Posted February 3, 2019 Share Posted February 3, 2019 Is that a recent picture?Around a decade ago iirc. It was sold, crashed, and straightened over the following years. All gone quiet on it now though - needed repaint and no MOT history. If I was in the market, I’d so want to buy Colc’s Cresta, and get it looking like the one above.
