:o Now, which engine did Opel put in the Blitz? 1.9 litre Cam in head like the one in the Ascona and Manta? So that'll struggle to reach either 70mph or 20mpg and certainly wouldn't do both on the same voyage. Mind, if I ended up with that I'd be thinking about how cheap the rates and water would be and not how dear the fuel. Make no mistake, I would finish up living in it! :oops:

Good buy for some lucky punter though, all of these new brake parts, very expensive tyres (assuming it takes the same size as the CF of the period) and the extensive bathroom facilities should see it right for a while.
Prix à débattre.
Hmm....

Reckon he'd be upset if someone offered him €500 including having him drive it to Rotterdam? :lol:

'Cos there isn't a boat from France to the North East coast of England, at least not a big one that HMRC and the coastguard approve of, and I'm far too tight to fuel a beast like that all the way up here from Dover, whereas the Rotterdam ferries come in every few hours, the crossing is cheap and the ferry port is only about 30 miles south from here.

Feel free to pick holes in my logic! :lol:

I lived in London for 28 years. I was sick to the back teeth of tourists asking me where they should go, how to get somewhere, etc. I know exactly why residents are unhelpful. It's because tourists are so annoying! ;)
