I've been "out" of the Vauxhall thing for years. Yet overnight an email arives with the attched photos and the cryptic message - "interested in a Ventora?" Hmm, I notice its a series 1. I never managed to own a series 1 Ventora when I was into them. Its also Peacock blue. I never owned a Peacock FD.

It'd be interesting if you really need a series1 in your life but TBH Akku, it looks more than a bit grufty. I think you should get the '98' rolling again for the RR gathering Full-size muscle FTW D

It might have bad news written all over it, but that just looks superb! Looks like it's been sat for a long time.... What's its story?

You HAVE to get that. Think same colour as now with black and white chequered stripes (or bonnet and roof), massive stick treatment and either chrome yank style alloys or black deep dish steels. Then, add a dash of Rover V8 and sprinkle with some side exit throaty exhausts for the ultimate win.
