they are rare vauxhall made some nice looking cars in the seventies but they rusted for fun as did a lot of manufacture"s of that era

Big time car guy here in USA. Wonderful to see so many American V8 muscle type cars over in UK.  God cant imagine the cost of driving them around even short distances with what you all pay for petrol compared to USA although prices here in past 6 months gone up nearly 20% now $4.20 USD a gallon ( 3.8 liters) for high grade my 2005 Holden built GTO requires... OUCH.. 6 liter Corvette engine too much to feed daily.

Just done some quick maths JohnEdward petrol is £1.34 a litre X 3.8 = £5.09 a gallon=$7.77=we're really being shafted by our goverment

 

Speaking to the owners of some, they only take them out in good weather (a rarity in Scotland)for a weeknd run or to car shows, so not many miles are clocked up

and v power nitro at £1.45 a litre !
