I saw this lovely Ford Escort Mk. II 3-door estate and had to share it with you.

I've never seen this car before!?

Now I want one...

What is it?

Found it!

Chevrolet Opala Diplomata.

Wow, the Coupe is also stunning!

That is a Brazilian market (south american maybe?) Chevrolet Caravan, 4 door cars were unpopular here during the 70's and 80's so even wagons were 2 door only.

In so many ways that's the perfect do-anything car - a pure distillation.

Yes and no. Unfortunately it is (too?) tiny.

True - the supermini (?) next to it - some sort of Ford (?) dwarfs it ....

Opel knows how to do it right...

It's a Focus - and yes, it seems HUGE in these pictures.

Watching a Top Gear I actually hadn't seen - the E-Type Hammond owns shown next to the F-Type Clarkson is driving - holy shit, the weight gain.

This is why I follow Oppo. I see something I haven't seen before or may have forgotten, then I feel all the want.

Here in Aus they're called finger bins lol

The bigger versions of these, panel vans, where called shaggin wagons. Since escorts are smaller, it was said that they're only big enough to finger bang in the back. Bit of useless trivia for ya lol
