'there's underseal on the underneath'

 

Did it eat several bags of peanuts and fart then?

That is a depressing looking bus, enough to seem like you've got more than one black dog on your shoulder.

I've never actually sat in a Vectra B or C. 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.

Almost certainly owned by some posh kid who went to 'find' themselves in a West African kibbutz and is selling it to fund a new alternative lifestyle selling fair trade hand knitted lentil yoghurts in a caravan made out of fucking shabby chic pallets in some indecipherable Welsh village by the sea. And then pisses off home at weekends to enjoy freshly blunderbussed trout pheasant sandwiches with her father on his 897,000 acre pad in twatting Gloucestershire.

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.

Even worse; weren't the shells shipped from Cov to Linwood for assembly or something? 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.

That (or one very like it) has been around on the live in vehicle scene for years. Not sure how they've got it down to 3.5t though. Disturbingly not been run on a showmans reg either to claim mot exemption...

The Pressed Steel plant at Linwood (bought by Chrysler in 1966) produced most of the pressings for Chrysler UK. 

 

When the Avenger went into production at Ryton in 1970 trainloads of pressings and body sub assemblies were sent daily from Linwood.

This went on until '76, when the Alpine went into production at Ryton and Avenger production was transferred to Linwood. 

 

The Avenger at Kelvin Hall (IIRC a blue estate) is actually the very last one off the line.

FARK!  15 large for an 06 Vectra with extra weight and dullness?

 

No thanks: this is more like it.  Half the miles, too...
