G6ET for the win.
Not my choice at all, but it's comfortable, looks (barely) ok, soft etc. Underrated car for those who love boring but stealth as cheap. |

Cool Thread Topic.
For me a ZJ-ZL fairlane or LTD with and a lazy 450hp clevo, mini tubs and Convo Pro's for that street look. OR a HG Brougham with similar power and setup.

Fairlane! Fairlane! Fairlane! ZA to ZH, '66, compact, tank, '57. I love Fairlanes even more than that thing I love very much...
Look ye with awe and insane jealousy upon my 10 year achievement badge. I am sure you will agree that it's better than everyone else's... |

It would depend on the seating height to see whom looks down on whom

I do love the lines and the rear tail lights on mine, you know, everything has a price
Id really like a Jaguar XJR. New one is OK... https://www.carsales.com.au/editoria...review-102606/ But the older style is very classic and a mix of new engine tech aswell.

Yeah they are much of a muchness, like someone saying a BA XR looks better than a BF XR.

Also how could we forget the good old NF FBT!
Quite a nice example here, I would get one of those over a TL50 to be honest. Would be torn but a supercharger on one of those would be pretty mint. https://www.justcars.com.au/cars-for...an/JCFD5163579

I had a very comfy 1974 LTD, the seats were a sort of pantyhose stuff.
Whenever I think back of the different cars that one always pops up near the top of the list. |

Still want to get hold of a rear FBT bootlid lock badge but that's like finding rocking horse poo. Last edited by Bossxr8; 02-07-2020 at 11:06 AM. |

A little earlier, the X300 with AJ16 and supercharger powered the XJR, inline six and supercharged for power, feels quite a bit Tickford Jag have just reintroduced an inline 6, which is pretty exciting...

Sports luxury. It was only produced to use up the last WB bodies. Similar to the previous SLE Statesman to use up the older HZ body.
