Presumably the continental version of the Vauxhall Firenza/Viva HC?
Had an Opel Kapitan in the 60s it was the predecessor to the Commodore. They were bigger than the largest UK Vauxhalls.....Wyvern/Cresta? I think the Cresta was nearly as big as the German Opels.Thanks for that. Looks a fair bit bigger than the Viva/Firenza in that shot.

My car well out of its comfort zone. I have a set of winter wheels and tyres but haven't put them on yet... if we get any more forecast I will be doing for sure.

As a 19year old in the early 60s myself and two friends decided to buy a very cheap 600 just for the fun of owning one. After about 6 months and a few problems we virtually gave it away as paying to fix it was far higher than all 3 of us earned in a year!

The dreams of youth!
Many apologies for my error......the car we purchased was a rounded not square body shape and was a 300 model which I believe preceded the 600.
Sorry my memories always have to be checked these days!
