Default Re: Cars you don't see many of anymore

Saw a Mazda Cosmo on the freeway on Monday morning took a while before the brain cells kicked in and remembered the name as even in its day it wasn't common.

Reasonably straight original XG van today and that gorgeous XF van in the background.

We saw a very neat one tonight parked up at a set of shops.
Even driving past at 60kmh with the sun gone you could tell it was a clean one.

XG (I think) S-Pack ute in Bunnings Gladesville, this afternoon. Driver looked original to the car - probably in his nineties or close. 4.0 badge was above the repeater blinker, not beside it as in the Wiz’s photo. Had alloys I now think were correct to the car - originally thought they came with chaser style steelies.

At first I thought it was a Longreach, but it definitely said S-Pack on the tailgate. Had a few scars, I’d say due to the driver ageing.

Yeah, I think they were referred to as Falcon Longreach S by then.
