I had a Vogue saloon for a while in the 80's. I find this one very appealing, it looks from the images like it would make for an easy rolling/oily rag resto. Wish I had the space for it in my life.

The potential's there isn't it, one of these in good order would be a very usable bit of kit.

Also, a 'very nice' rolling project?

I once owned/ran a SUper Minx estate...very stout car indeed..metal a lot thicker than today's motos!! {As a school teacher found out when she rear-quartered me one day.......I never did pull out the slight rear quarter dent....I tried, but it wasn't easy]

I ran this car as a daily driver [banger is how I would have described it, at the time]....for about a year.....comfortable, but couldn't be 'hustled'...a bit of a barge, handling-wise. Economy hadn't been heard of at Rootes, I thought...certainly fuel consumption was in the low 20's. [1725 engine]

A nice, heavy car....maybe not so good as a daily driver [for a pensioner to run?]...there are much lighter estates of similar age out there.
