I'd love a UK Spec B but can't swallow the £550 a year tax, the imports are nice but then I'm not sure I could spend £10k on a car more than ten years old.
My Jeffsy goes in the back of my legacy without removing the wheels.
My Vitus Escarpe (1234mm wheelbase) will fit in the legacy with both worlds on, but only with the bars at the front and the front wheel ends up resting on the front seat headrest so it'll get dirty very quickly.

I’d love a big old Volvo. Was it the 850, the last RWD one?
940/960 is the last RWD, 850 is the first FWD/AWD. If I could've found a well preserved 940 turbo I'd have had it tbh, I was <this> close to buying a scabby one for £1250 and just throwing boost and underseal at it forever

First trip out with the bike in the back of the legacy, the tarp does the job at the moment while it's dry and dusty...
Volvo 'specialist' in Denny has some decent old volvos, last time I was there (admittedly 5+ years ago) he had a few turbo models...
Looks ace.
Like CountZero said, I find getting in and out of a normal car awkward now - I got my spine broke by an idiot driver, so getting in and out of my saloon has been a challenge ever since, my wifes squashy is so much easier. The down side is the 'outlaw' can't get in a high car, so I'll really hiss her off when I get a higher up car.
I think it might be a big/fast/people carrier/thread needed.... although don't need to transport more than 4 folks and....4 CATS... and bikes...
Here's mine
More along of the lines of quick than properly fast but plenty of midrange torque with the batteries. Bit of a blunt instrument but enough grip and pace to be amusing using the flappy paddles on the right road and a relaxing cruise the majority of the time with the adaptive cruise and DSG. I like it.
No pics of old Vauxhalls yet?
Gawd knows why that numberplate reads "desired", it should read "despair"
Vauxhalls have never been cool nor desired.
The Omega was rather decent...did the police not have a special edition of it called the Senator?
The Senator was a separate model. They did a 3.0 GSI that was a machine and a half, well, for the 90's at least.
Vauxhalls have never been cool nor desired.
Lotus Carlton.
although I’m not sure if that still qualifies as a Vauxhall.
Is that coming from the voice of experience then Soma ?
I drive an Insignia Sport Tourer ( to give it is full moniker ) as a daily commuting machine ..fast enough with 160 horses ..looks ok to my eye from every angle but the front ( too much chrome ) and keeps up with most other 2.0l machines ..including BM's, Audi's & VW's...I like driving it and pissing other people off when they can't lose it ( I don't mean driving right on their bumper by that )..
It's fun to drive ..might not be on " The Cool Wall" ..but then thats part of its appeal for me ! 😁
