Looks like a GXL in everything but headlights..
 
Remembered not so much with affection as incredulity: the Morris Marina that seemed to be a favourite for the Starsky & Hutch paint job.

When I were a teenager there was a local lad who had a Vauxhall Ventora painted in full General Lee colours. At the time were were impressed, but looking back it so show doesnt seem so cool.
Oh, I don't know, there's a certain irony about those sorta paint jobs :eek:
