Oh, I’m aware of what makes it a Ventora, just not what makes it worth£16k , to be honest that 3.3 boat anchor with an auto box , just reduces the mpg. I’m sure the performance figures for 2.3 Victors, VX4 /90s and Ventoras are all pretty much the same.  Just checked and yes all 3 posted 12-12.6 second 0-60 and only the Ventoar could just break 100 mph.

£16k does seem a bit steep.

Same performance figures as a Mk. IV Zodiac then - wonder how the Mk. 1 Granny compared? At least the Ventora didn't have that fragile piece of shite known as the "Essex V6" powering it...

To be honest, I think Vauxhall lost their way a bit with the styling on the FE - my godfather had an 1800ES FE in yellow with a black vinyl roof and all the options, It also bore the plate NEW 14M, which would occasionally get an 'E' added in the dirt to make NEW 14ME.

I much preferred his white 2000SL FD - PEW 58K.

And no, I can't remember what I had for breakfast... 🤔

Austin Hornet? Not a Wolseley then?

SC430s aren't the sexiest, sportiest thing, but lose the vinyl and scoop on the bonnet, get the chrome painted to match the body and you've got a quirky, reliable little car with a V8 that's going to lose you very little over the summer.

 

 

 

Maybe.

At least it's a proper colour.

This looks ok for £995 (albeit described as immaculate with what appear to be dents in both rear wings)...

I had one identical to that about 10 years ago.  It was a competent if rather uninspiring car, although I remember the steering being particularly heavy.

Edit: Not quite identical, mine was a 1.5.

Steering wheel and gear lever look modified to me and a UK model wouldn't have that numberplate!
