Rarities On The Road
Tommo:
i saw a volvo 480 today pulling out of a junction. and i thought the exact same thing, must be getting rare.
weird.
V8MoneyPit:
Apart from the Saab Sonnetts, our local garage looks after a BMW 850 too. It was pretty rare new, but you don't see many of them now. One of the few BMW's that I think looks really nice.

I believe indicators were still an optional extra back then???
(but 'Red-Braces' were a standard fitment!)

Re Vauxhall/Opel.
Open is the euro badge for GM, the Vectra etc in Europe is the opel However I think that they used to sell "hot" vauxhalls as opels in the uK as the vauxhall brand was a bit stuffy, just like Toyota and Lexus today. One example is the Vauxhall VX220 which despite being good had the brand appeal of M&S trainers, whereas in Imported Opel Speedster was rare and intriguing.
My nomination for rare would be the NSU RO80, they are lovley looking.
