Well I didn't expect to see this when I took the dogs out for a walk earlier...sorry crap photo due to mad fumble to get my phone out while the dogs tried to pull me over.

Not one I've seen around here before.

Was well worth the effort! That looks superb, hope you get to see it again closer up.

Saw these in Hednesford tonight, couldn't get any nearer to the Cortina without trespassing.

The Picarsehole was an 06 loaded to the gunnels with shite. The house is overgrown and looks in a similar state to the cars. Odd. May investigate further.

Likewise, looked really tidy from what I saw.  Vinyl roof suggests pretty high trim level to me?

Sounded nice too - clocked the noise well before I saw it!

I always view pics like that as a bit of a salutary reminder: it would be all too easy to end up like that. Fleet cull needed....

Lovely. I've always felt the Marina gets a lot of unfair press. Any lingering doubt I've had has been dispelled by lockdown viewing of Mr Hubnut's vid on two immaculate Aussie variants which caused massive want.

I'd say it's a 1.8TC or maybe the later GT.

Have always liked the look of both the Marina and the Ambassador.  Have never actually been in a Marina, but it's definitely a car which I could see having on the fleet if the opportunity arose.

More Hednesford shite spotted

 

 

Wow a fantastic spot, that's lovely. I've always had the hots for those and their Wolseley siblings, ever since as a kid a guy up the road from me bought one completely stock then kept modding it for years until after several incarnations it gained a Daimler V8 and a metalflake (remember that?) paint job. It appeared thrice in various custom mags at the time and I thought (still do) it was the nuts. I've wanted one ever since.

Great, really pleased you like it! It looked gorgeous, hell of a beauty.

I know it's not technically a "spot" but saw this at Mount Edgecombe car show 2 years ago,ot wasnt there this year.

 My humble opinion the Hb is the prettiest car Vauxhall ever made.

 Maybe someone amongst us knows where/how she is.

Tidy looking Mk2 Golf living on the street round the corner from mine, though is sorned and  appears to have failed MOT on emissions and headlamp aim last December. Surprised how rare they've become.
