How about a Vauxhall Velox then?

That would definitely be a condender - though if I was going big Vauxhall I'd maybe jump a few years forward - This Cresta was a regular at what used to be my local annual car show.
I'd quite happily have welcomed that to my driveway.
You're pretty much on the money for the age of the model though.

Well you've been through all the BL and its predecessors so how about moving to the Rootes Group say a Humber Hawk, Super Snipe, or the later Sunbeam Rapier, Sunbeam Talbot 90, Hillman California or Minx.
