Close enough ! The Brigand was the more powerful turbocharged variant, the one I passed was a Britannia.... and you don't see many of those either in the air or on the road these days

Found out from Wiki that the rectangular headlights are from a Volkswagen Sirrocco II, and tail lights from a Bedford van!

Spotted today in Thornton-le-dale North Yorkshire

..Anyone know their upholstery?

or gear knobs

Something very familiar about that but exactly what evades me. At a guess a Subaru?
Thornton Dale is a lovely place. Must make the effort to visit again some day.
