I saw a white Triumph 2000/2500 with a dark-coloured roof. Hard to tell exactly because the sun was directly in front of me, so it's also not worth checking the dash-cam footage for a photo. |

Light blue Cortina 1600E, looked pretty original with the paint quite faded and a little while after we saw a very tidy red Escort XR3i.
Both out in the Sunday sunshine through the village. _________________ Various Rootes Vehicles. |

Hi
Something i forgot to mention yesterday.
At the top of Woodhead there was a modern caravan around 60 -100yds off the road lying on it's roof.
No obvious sign as to how it got there, so I suppose someone must have tried to do the trip when there was a gale blowing. _________________ Bristols should always come in pairs.

They probably saw the storm coming and thought "Oh it'll just blow over."

Yes, one would have thought that Vauxhall would have learned their lesson from the dreadful rust issues with the FA. The early Victors (and Crestas) were, in my opinion, some of the most attractive designs but they quickly earned a reputation for being rust buckets.
The beautiful new sky blue one that my Dad bought lasted just three years before it fell to bits. |

Is it a mid-blue, with a darker blue roof? I've seen one locally in that colour scheme. |

Which do you think feels the best in operation and/or is better in appearance? The pull handle or the push button handles? |
