Parky Posted September 19, 2017 Share Posted September 19, 2017 He could have done a much better job of selling it if he had tried. I would have mentioned how his Dad (I assume) doted on the car, polished it regularly and turned down constant offers to buy it from the fat kid from around the corner. After which I would have mentioned how Mr Gilbert McNaught of the Rootes group was the first owner, how he was a Doctor and the son of a Banker and so definitely cared for it. After which a powerfully built company director took it on and spared no expense before Dad bought it in 1984. Of course there is no proof of any of this but the papers got lost guv.... And after a beautifully contrived, detailed and slightly boring story, I would have said no MOT but should fly through before finishing with it is what it is, and it ain't what it ain't.

somewhatfoolish Posted September 19, 2017 Share Posted September 19, 2017 That's not natural; anything made of tin from Coventry that gets left under a bush that long ought to be fit for sweeping up with a brush.

Parky Posted September 19, 2017 Share Posted September 19, 2017 It was actually built in Linwood - so being Scottish was probably built with bits of scrap Volvo which is why it is still in one piece. puddlethumper, Braddon81, Banger Kenny and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've owned 4 mk2 cavaliers and a mk3 cav (Vectra A) and 3 mk3 astras and a mk4 astra and an omega. But the Vectra C? I thought I'd just wait until I'm about to die and plan and pay for my funeral in advance, with the stipulation that the relatives are carried in any 6 door black Vauxhall saloon.

I can remember the run-out Avenger on display in the transport museum when it was in Kelvinhall, it looked like it had been put together by Ray Charles.IIRC all the assembly took place at Linwood for those Avengers - the panels may have been (badly) pressed at Cov, but they were put together in Linwood. It's not impossible that the Avenger on display at the Kelvin Hall had been cobbled together from panels that failed quality control. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
