Photos of the cars were super-imposed over cartoon-style drawings of futuristic settings. They made the car look really smart to my easily-impressed 6-year old eyes. http://www.car4play.com/forum/post/index.htm?m=691643&v=e car4play691559 Sun, 30 Aug 2026 15:46:51 +0100 Thought that was what you meant. Same body as a Victor but with a massively bigger engine. Father of a school friend had an ex police Victor estate with the same engine. Still remember the reg SAJ 902H. Probably first car I was in over 100mph. http://www.car4play.com/forum/post/index.htm?m=691559&v=e car4play691558 Sun, 30 Aug 2026 15:35:12 +0100 Sorry my bad VentOra 3,3 litre 6 cyl http://www.car4play.com/forum/post/index.htm?m=691558&v=e car4play691557 Sun, 30 Aug 2026 15:31:58 +0100 Ventura or Ventora? http://www.car4play.com/forum/post/index.htm?m=691557&v=e car4play691556 Sun, 30 Aug 2026 15:14:52 +0100 So there I was as above, and bumped into a classic car rally. In amongst the usual tat, was a Vauxhall Ventura FD in a lovely deep burgundy. Chatted to the old boy who owned it. He bought it new in 1970 to do exec taxi work, done 226,000 miles in it, keeps it in lovely condition http://www.car4play.com/forum/post/index.htm?m=691556&v=e
