dsl ◊ 2013-03-19 22:37	I'm not sure about the ratio of this picture - it looks slightly out but is the opening frame or two of the film. Anyway a Mk1 GL Panel Van as unique Aus/NZ version as comment at /vehicle_449466-Ford-Escort-GL-Van-1975.html - this is our first Mk1 and first in NZ. Wobbly front view below, and a distant Mk2 in background of 2nd thumb at 00:16 in the same street. (Also a blue one in the sequence with the Brambles Bedford at 00:15:30, possibly Mk2). Main - 1100 to get page, plus Triumph 2000 Mk2 and a Viva HC - all local assembly. 2nd thumb also has 65 facelift Cresta PB and a red Herald, again both local assembly. -- Last edit: 2016-12-11 14:17:56
