Cracking photo's Col.

Loved the Mk2 Consul. Dad had one in the '60's, bench type front seat with a generous armrest which as a toddler I used to sit on whilst he was driving!!!! How dangerous was that? Had a fantastic handbrake left of the steering column; pull and twist. Three speed column change with a linear(?) speedo, oh and where was the the petrol filler cap?????

Nice one

I was very pleased to see that, can't remember the last estate I saw, I was more of an HC man in my Vauxhall days & had virtually every combination
