vulgalour Posted October 21, 2019 Share Posted October 21, 2019 @Lord Sterling There's a local company has a Vectra Limousine and matching hearse. They may be the same ones that had a similar brace of Omegas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr_Bo11ox Posted October 21, 2019 Share Posted October 21, 2019 That Vectra limo is class, what a dismal POS. It looks wonky as hell! Look at the chrome strip beneath the windows!!!! What a shocker. Great find!! GrumpyCat 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

paulplom Posted October 22, 2019 Share Posted October 22, 2019 Like a funeral isn't sad and depressing enough. Imagine that rocking up to take you to the crem. If you weren't already in tears you soon will be. carlo 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NorfolkNWeigh Posted October 22, 2019 Share Posted October 22, 2019 I think that Vectra, just got its bad side to the camera. Admittedly this ones a Premier not a Statesman, but given the choice of my nearest and dearest rocking up to the crem in this or paying 4 times as much for an equally hideous stretched new shape XJ, I'm more than happy to make my final journey in a convoy of Vectras.

davocano Posted October 22, 2019 Share Posted October 22, 2019 Spot the bits from the Ford parts bin: they are attached to a Winchester Mark IV and I've never heard of this one before. One of three survivors from not very many built in the first place. The engine is from a Transit which is hard to spot from here.

vulgalour Posted October 25, 2019 Share Posted October 25, 2019 Thanks to our very own @dollywobbler I'm now aware of the Dongfeng Fukang, or Citroen Fukang 998, or Dongfeng-Citroen Fukang, or Citroen Elysee. It's a ZX with a boot. It got a terrible facelift, which seems to be the one that's the Elysee. You can get them as a weird roller-shutter van thing. You can get them as a crew-cab.

vulgalour Posted October 25, 2019 Share Posted October 25, 2019 Naturally, you can also get them with more legroom in the back, because China, and that's the Citroen Dong Feng Elysse Limousine VIP. Or something. It seems every car has half a dozen different names, each one longer and more pointless than the last. It's a ZX with a boot and fat B pillars. adw1977, Mrs6C, egg and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There was a plan also in France to give the XM a third and more radical make-over in the late 90's introducing a solid C-pillar, boot and corporatising the nose to the then current Citroen look. I don't think it looks bad. Did not get beyond a prototype alas. That wingtip XM badge is particularly neat in how it resolves the (old) scallop to the (new) nose fit. The automotive 'makeover' is as old as the car I suppose - some better than others. Saab were one of the masters with the 99 and derivatives.

I remember years ago that the Coupe was tipped to be "the next really valuable Jaguar" etc. Ironic that the Ford Cortina etc long ago overtook it in value. Something completely unforseen 20 years ago. egg, Eyersey1234 and Sudsprint 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bfg Posted November 1, 2019 Share Posted November 1, 2019 Polished tyres or not, I'm sure I can see bubbling of rust developing under the paint on the sills and along the bottom of the doors even as I look at the photo..
