its possible that the car had a number of names I suppose, I'm no Vauxhall guru, but the name I have for it is much much shorter than that

Stop giving out clues Rick - it is driving me mad!
???XR7??? or something like???
Mentioning Wayne Cherry, I have seen an early Cavalier that he used, on which he had the whole floor pan, front and back, lowered by about 3 inches because he wasn't comfortable in a standard car.

Re-arrange the initials of a current hot Vectra I'd never even heard of it, but a bit of crafty googling of Wayne Cherry soon did the trick  |

Yes, Brian...the Maco Shark was the Corvette, and it looked a LOT like this car. But I do believe it WAS later than 1967 by a couple years. |
