After a brief hiatus [due to a knackered ignition barrel] I HAZ VELOUR.post-2866-0-19498400-1388562175_thumb.jpgpost-2866-0-55388900-1388562189_thumb.jpgpost-2866-0-52348500-1388562201_thumb.jpgpost-2866-0-08464700-1388562213_thumb.jpg

 

 

Acres of slightly mismatched browness..............

Lovely!!

 

It's in the forum colours too! Dunno why but modern manufacturers seem to have forgotten how to do comfy velourious interiors

Posted

Cool!

 

And if someone pukes up in there you won't even see it.

 

Although the smell may linger...

Posted

OI! Manufacturers!  THAT is how you do a luxury interior!  Fucking pay attention, will you!

 

That looks so cosy and inviting, and I don't even like beige... 8)

I've got a mental image of sitting in the drivers seat and just disappearing slowly into the seat like QuickVelour. Maybe the previous owner is still in there....

Wow, big Vauxhall/Opel interiors from this era are some of my favourite ever. Beautiful

Posted

That is just GORGEOUS.  I love these, they look fantastic - especially in Vauxhall flavour and that colour.  Brilliant purchase, looking forward to more pics and tales.

 

Is it a keeper?

Should I hire it out for Autoshite dogging evening?

 

With a car like that, who needs sex?

Don't be daft, this is Autoshite dogging. Sneak out at night, find a quiet country lane, sit back in the velour and crack one off. No company needed.

Stunning, best interior of any car I've ever owned, or possibly even best interior of anything I've ever been in. I love these cars. 8)
I can even remember the smell off both of mine.

Bet the seat covering is in perfect condition isn't it? I've seen Royales which were absolutely fucked in every way but so long as the damp doesn't get to them that velour seems almost indestructible.

The simplicity of the auto stick and transfer tunnel is beautiful.

Hell, that is lovely....lushest AA Patrol waiting room you could wish for.   I would take that  anywhere and not care if I broke down.

Posted

Christ this takes me back.

 

The feel of the velour.

 

The smell of a feu orange traffic light.

 

The sound of my Now 16 cassette.

 

The uncertainty of whether or not I had enough fuel to finish my journey.

 

The only way this car could be better is if it had head rests in the back like the saloon.

Just need a mullet, white socks, slip on shoes, and a durex.

Not that I want it but some pic of the actual car and not just the interior might help the sale....

Posted

I've seen and been wafted about in this. Absolute bargain IMO. Really tidy, has obviously had an easy life, rides nicely, has a sensational interior and very nice straight and tidy bodywork.

NOOOOOO!!! You're not supposed to be selling this, not yet, not while I've got three cars with three different restorers and the driveway is also full.  Massive want!  Massive mustn't!

No, you're definitely too far away. It would cost me about £200 in petrol just to bring it back, and I've had 2 already...

 

GLWTS, I'd love it, but I mustn't.
