Faults:

Blew an oil pipe due to age and fatigue

General Comments:

I would highly recommend as a classic vehicle choice - parts are easy enough to obtain

Vanguards are probably the most underrated classic car; mine will cruise easily with modern traffic, especially if you can cope with no power steering, electric windows and need something to get you around. These are great cars, although make sure you know how to use a grease gun.

Had mine for 30 years and was using it as an everyday driver; fuel consumption with overdrive was around 600km for 25 litres so affordable to run.
