I owned one of these, a J-reg as this is. I sold it for about £50 for restoration. I've owned 16 classics but never realised their value at the time. What a fool I was!

The Vanden Plas models were always the best they could make.
With those small chips attended to and a good valet and some tlc on the seats and steering wheel you will have a close
to a mint car, far better than the average sample.
Some collector will have a car to be proud of.
Far better than todays plastic everywhere models.

Looks like a perfect car to me!

This is a beautiful car

The automatics on these are better than the manual versions , much smoother to drive and being 4 speed  don’t give anything away either - lovely little daily classic or show vehicle/Sunday special

nice walk around 👍as an owner of one of these cars (not concours by any means 🙂) it makes a nice change to watch a video and not be picking faults out to myself. cars with cover sills fitted, seams filled etc this one stands head and shoulders above the rest and is a credit to the owner 👍

Back in 1975 , I and a friend, driven from Lancaster , Lancshire , to Exeter , Devonshire , about 8 hours drive, but it was very comfortable, leg room in the back , surprisingly, was large.

When and if I win the lottery I’ll be buying a car from you lol. Beautiful presentation x

My late aunt had an identical car...even in brown, in 1976, it was K reg, so either '71 or '72? I had a '74 Dolomite in red which was nice too. But I think I would have swapped mine for hers given the chance! haha

I've just thought how sensational this would look, with different mirrors.(chrome of course) It needs those bullet shaped ones - round would look nice with the round headlights, and round foglightd foglights! foglights@ foglights!

Exhaust was leaking/blowing.

How much are they worth in 2025.

50 plus years old, and it wouldn’t have looked much better brand new.

Previously restored

I worked on these they where built better

Still available??

I'm surprised these weren't painted in a two-tone colour combination. Brown is not a very desirable colour.

The most luxurious version of one of the worst cars ever built in Britain.
