Looks nice, are you going all rock-abilly on us?

 

I'd be fitting slot mags and doing a 2 tone paint job.

Wish i still had my mk2 Zephyr estate :(

Passed my test, had a mini van then a saloon then got the Zephyr.

Lets just say it handled a bit differently :lol:  But was good for taking eight mates out :D
