MrDuke Posted May 19, 2020 Share Posted May 19, 2020 It's like the designer started with really good intentions, then when they handed him the Senator rear lights he just gave up (on life, probably). somewhatfoolish, egg and LightBulbFun 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

richardmorris Posted May 19, 2020 Share Posted May 19, 2020 Quick, mot check says Blenheim. And 39,000 miles. I like the front but agree that the rear is a bit of a mess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

egg Posted May 20, 2020 Share Posted May 20, 2020 I went to a (pre-booked) visit to Herne Bay tip this morning with a Mondeo-full of crap (i.e. lots). Yeah, that social distancing thing ain't happening. Usual scrum/free for all. I'm glad the virus doesn't do well outside. Not fun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ever felt, you should have just left it as it was originally and bought a load of Hillman Hunter units to cover future production? Or, try some off a Bedford CF2 before redesigning the whole back end for the Senator jobs. The Series 4 got these, I’ll admit I had to Google what they are, does anyone know, without looking it up?

NorfolkNWeigh Posted May 20, 2020 Share Posted May 20, 2020 Aah the 275 GTS, Pinninfarina’s lesson to the one design in different sizes that Audi,BMW etc all follow now. I suppose he got away with it ,selling the same saloon design to Lancia, BMC and Peugeot, so why not. I’d rather a 504 and a little chateau in The Ardeche for the price of a 275.

xtriple Posted May 20, 2020 Share Posted May 20, 2020 The lights only got changed simply because legislation changed. Sizes and visibility from the side and all sorts of shit. You could rely on Tony Crook to change NOTHING without being made to do so! egg, Stevebrookman, Skizzer and 6 others 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
