Good to see one of your early dealerships has now been immortalised in a diorama Gibbo 
And all over Facebook too!

Is it true they were rusty straight from the factory?

Re: Funny pictures and videos
Ah, the fabled Vauxhall rusting problem. There were jokes about owners returning to their car after a light shower and just finding an engine block sitting in a rust stain!
That afflicted the FB (and FA?) I think. My father's 101 Victor (bought new), which was essentially an overbodied FB, didn't seem to suffer excessively from tin worm.

As I get older I think a lot about the hereafter - I go into a room and then wonder what I'm here after.

Re: Funny pictures and videos
What's the betting that they've got the 'maintenance in progress' sign, but there's not a soul to be seen actually working on it ?
