I love that she had mud tyres on the L322!

No pic, but the defender V8 is up there with my favourites

Is that Cresta a tragic effort by Crayford?

Really?

I saw it earlier and didn't see Cortina above it. The side glass looks too tall and not long enough to be a Granada.

Look at the way the chrome on the bottom edge of the window comes out in front of the mirror.

I said it was a Cortina, but it's a Granada dashboard.

I know she had a Metallic Green Rover Sterling. I don’t think she had a Rover 75 which is perfectly understandable.

Was she wearing a hoodie, while driving a Range Rover? How very street.
