Making a new flatbed for that Beddy would be an interesting woodwork project!  One I'd be up for too if I had somewhere under cover to do it.  The price is certainly right.

Mine looked like new when I sold it 9 years ago at 85,000miles. The problem was Marvin the paranoid android running the electronic systems. Beep, bong and bing, anti-pollution fault, etc.

Returning to that 18GTL estate: I thought GTLs had headlight wipers/washers? I know my 1982 saloon did and this'd have the same detuned 1647cc lump in it.

Nah, crap forum software/browser shenanigans. Now sorted.

yeah, though so, would be rather strange if you intentionally did that.

I might be deranged... but I'm not that deranged.

I think.

I thought I recognised this. It was on these very pages a year or so ago after being off the road ten years and was also in Retro Ford mag post recommissioning . It was £900 as a project and owner appears to have done a lot of work so £2k seems entirely reasonable

I can understand, I am a bit of petrolsnob, but did they ever do a manual?

Yes, but I think only on the 2.2 diesel manual which I have even less interest in!

Yes, no point in all of that refinement - and spoiling it with Dieselness.

It is a good attempt with the 2.7 HDi C6, but it still sounds like a diesel at idle. This I could forgive on the XM 2.1 XUD as it didn’t also have EGR, DPF and other such shite to clean up its diesel filth waiting to go majorly wrong. The two noise, vibration and complexity together are just too much for my taste.

Selling off the heritage fleet is a sure sign the bods in charge no longer give a flying fuck about the Vauxhall brand (for good or bad).

 

I think it's more a sign that they recognise that Vauxhall customers mainly don't care about 'heritage'
