No evidence of the "coke-bottle" shape, or chrome strips (however it seems to have a strange two-tone paintwork! The boot seems to have a large central badge, the Cresta or Viscount had only a small turnbutton or separate chrome letters as I remember. Rear bumper looks right but the tail-lights are not clear enough however they could be correct also. Could it be something other than Vauxhall perhaps? -- Last edit: 2007-09-29 18:12:53
Weasel1984 ◊ 2007-09-29 19:25	I would tell that is painted only in one colour.
Sunbar ◊ 2007-09-29 19:58	Right.... only one colour is better. I'm becoming more certain that it is a Cresta PC I think the black line in the rear window is only a reflection - probably of a street lamp? -- Last edit: 2007-09-29 19:58:19
