This seller seems to know where to root out those pristine vehicles that are so elusive whenever I'm in the market to buy one! Evil or Very Mad

How smart is that! Very Happy

I don't think I've ever seen a cleaner one - and no rust that I can see, that's must be a first for a Vauxhall.

Just how tempted are you O-N? Confused

Was on sale here a couple of weeks ago

Nice bit of profit in something like that I reckon Wink

It does make you wonder where these things do still turn up from ..

but is it really an untouched wonder? as mention is made of some paintwork here n there, and the radio has been restored, he says it has been through an enthusiasts hands already where anything could have been done. Was the Super badge screwed on like that originally?? might be right, but it looks a bit odd. Nitpicking perhaps, but for £10k I'd want it 100% perfick

Given that these Victors disolved like sherbet in the rain I think the underside pictures are the most remarkable, can't have ever been driven in the wet let alone winter.

although Victors aren't my favorite by any means, this IS a beauty. there are few timewarp cars left to be found. would you really risk damaging a car this good in traffic? i'd be scared witless that some oaf would simply erase 50 years of careful stewardship with one careless manueovre.
simply lovely to look at, though....
