^ I must be getting really old 'cause the estate car in the background looks more interesting to me.

 

What is it a Zodiac or summit ?

Vauxhall Padx ??

Prototype droopsnoot. 1972.

More about this on the Vauxpedia site.

 

 

More than a passing resemblance to a Ford Falcon XB Coupe...

 

 

 

I’m not quite sure if I’m seeing the resemblance you are.

 

 

^ I can see it in a Mad Maxish type way.

 

 

 

What they said, with better pictures than I'd have found too.

 

You have to remember Max's car is the only Falcon XB Coupe most of us have seen over here.

^ Yellow Interceptor Cort 3rd pic up.

Now that's uncanny, I've had this pic lying around for a week or two.

An Oz Mk3 Cortina 4.1. 'Rallye'. Was this for real? Maybe a 'GT' 4.1 spec version?

Or maybe some bloke bought a Rallye decal from a petrol station on a Saturday morning. Don't know.

Trivial Quiz : Can anyone identify the blue car behind ?  I do have an idea and believe it's also a Lada.

But, sadly ......

^ personally I don't think 'sadly' at all.  Some things just ought never to have happened in the first place, unless it were to be a prop for Thunderbirds
