Dont think that excuse would work anymore.

The weakest part of any of the vauxhall victors I had was the steering box, I had a 2ltr one that would go round corners sometimes, if you were lucky.

Ball bearings used to drop out of them some how, I put some round pebbles in that one one night to get me back from Muriwai to the shore.

I had a Victor in the 80's farking grunt box it was... 4x2 blocks under the rear springs try n get away with that these days, mind you it did come from rangi in Gisbourn when I checked the ownership history LOL

So how did the Ventora differ??? I know it had the twin harkers, what else...

Nice dangerous. Real pretty HB. Had a CF up till last year too, LD28 motor, high roof camper. Been replaced with a nissan bus now.

As for the ventora, was just a better finish, with power steering, more detailed inside, better carpets, seats ect.........

Power steering

Vynil roof

A little bit more chrome on the body

Four extra guages across the dash

Reclining bucket seats

Options of auto or overdrive gearbox

and other stuff like reversing lights and one or two other item, can't find the advertisement for Ventoras at the mo.

3.3 Victors came with twin drains too - in fact exactly the same motor in both cars.
