Default Re: Vale affordable family wagon

HJ Kingswood wagon manual 4 speed, factory optioned with all the GTS fruit (except for the V8, which I couldn't afford to insure. )
Can't remember how many Kms it did, on all sorts of roads, a lot of which now only traversed by a 4WD SUV or ute.
It only lasted 30 years, until it was rear ended at a roadworks traffic stop. I negotiated to have it repaired, in hindsight I should have written it off, but $$$$ were in short supply at the time.
Another 3>4 years, and I eventually gave it away to be a parts donor for a sedan and 1 tonner Ute. Another mistake, as the interior, motor and box were good, but the body behind the front doors was FUBARd, and the good bits are currently 'gold plated' classic sought after spares.
The Territory is a good replacement, but the 'love' is just not there.
