Yep, about the same as an oil tanker!

Wheelbase doesn't look much longer then a Mercedes Sprinter, I've never seen a courier struggle to move around the city.

[Steamer]

RWD too wasn't it? so should have pretty good lock.

Perhaps they thought patriotic buyers or people happy with Fords may go for it over the Peugeot 504 and Citroen CX estates with three rows of seats?

Yeah saw one of those online the other day, could possible be passed on as a 21st century Tatra with those huge intakes at the back.

Yes, not just a tip of the hat to the Citroen CX but a bigger one towards the Rover SD1. The name 6000 SUX was a dig at the Pontiac 6000.

It looks to be a successor to the Windsor, I suppose they had to use a Sierra as there wasn’t a Granada mk3 estate for a while. Think it was aimed at the business/ hotel/ airport transfer market
