Even in Ghostbusters?

I think the estate version was called a "Safari" a friend of mine had a blue one he wrote it off after hitting a stag (Animal not car) near Thetford.

You haven't been on one end of one of these when the last bolt comes out.

So happy together, une voiture ancienne and something almost classic, sixties-inspired.

I occasionally drove my grandfather's 1970 Daimler Sovereign and was impressed by the build quality but totally unimpressed by how poor the demisting system was. With any more than two people in the car on a rainy day everyone had to help by wiping the windows free of condensation. Oh, and performance wise, it was about as quick as a slug in a freezer.

The blue car above is a mid 50's Cadillac.
