My 3.3 Ventura was faster than the 2002 BMW"s on the German autobahns . It would drive at 120 mph with no problem at all even on long uphill sections of the roads.Fantastic Car.

My dad had the earlier version and it was very fast. A great straight 6 engine and plenty of room for the family. A good car if you can find one but like all the best they rotted away as they went down the road. 👍🏴

My Dad had one of these in the 70s, on an M plate, but I’m sure it was badged as a VX490.

Why couldn't you think of anything to say about the car ? History ? Number of owners ? Original paint, or repaint ? Distance covered over lifetime ? Engine size ? Manual or automatic transmission ?

Oddball design when the rear windows would only open half way due to the wheel arch. Shame they rusted so fast that hardly any are left now.

22/01 23, Remember the Vauxhall Plant had a Showroom in Kimpton Road Luton. Used to wonder in there from time to time and ogle latest models & colours. Remember too seeing a swish 2 Door 1.6 HB Viva in Green there with contrasting Vynal roof. If you watched 'Kojak' Saturday evenings on TV you could get a glimpse of what UK produced next generation GM & Fords were likely to look like. Recall seeing the Vee F bumpers before appearing on UK Vauxhalls. Knew folk who worked at Vauxhall when they had a large order from BT for yellow coloured Busby

Typical 70's styling cues such as Rostyle Wheels with Chrome or Stainless Trims, Vinyl Roof and Sideline Trims. I owned a 1972 VX4/90. I'm sure this model was designated with the code name FE and named the Transcontinental. My car was a 2.3L with Manual and Overdrive. I was 18 yrs old at the time and kept it for 3 years selling it to a mate of mine who kept it for around 8 years. Nice car in their time.

I had the FE Victor 1800 with same body shell. Huge amount of room inside. Nice to drive but mine gave some trouble too, i.e. problems with the clutch, 2x water-pump, distributor oil seal and rust (lots of it, I lived by the sea). Once, whilst using the jack, the sill just started to crumble away... very few FE's left now. I did like that car though.
