I had several of these back in the day as I am sure many others did too,mine did sterling service pulling my car trailer all over when I first started out on my own so when I was following up a lead on a Motorbike and Sidecar I spotted a familiar face in the corner of the yard,I bought the Combination and after a bit of badgering managed to get the Granny too. She needs a few things doing but a blat down the A21 to Hastings for Fish and Chips ain't far off.
Here's a couple of the Dnepr Combination too..Thanks to Don for the steer in relation to the NOVA form
30 years later and I still miss my MK1 3L GXL Granny great cars.
Have you had issues with the combi in relation to the sidecar on the wrong side? VOSA were refusing to register them as technically they're illegal in C&U regs.
1965 Belvedere 2 426 Wedge.
Climate change,global warming,the biggest tax raising scam ever devised by man for mankind.
Great cars, I had an ex police Mk1 Granada 3.0S in white with filled holes in the roof, zipped up headlining and two speedo's in the dash and winding windows.
If you like velour I will post a thread on my series one Opel Monza, which has a red velour interior !

Interesting...Not registered yet but done the MOT work and was planning to go down this week to get it tested,we thought that it was OK on the wrong side because of the age.The Tester I use for Bikes said he thought that it was OK as it was a 1973 and it was "some date in the eighties" when right hand drive as such is the law,he was going to check.
Owners club never mentioned anything when I applied for the dating certificate and I had to provide photos,I guess I will find out

There was a lovely MK1 at the Shefford show yesterday.
Pete, the guy with that Mk1 has a saloon, coupe and estate, all Mk1's , all the same perfect condition and the estate he has owned from new. He is in his eighties now, lives in the village and also has an E type and a Austin 10.
Never fails to support our local shows.
