johnfromstaffs ◊ 2015-02-21 11:48	I had a 1976 20TL. Out of the many cars I have owned since 1965, undoubtedly the second fastest rotter, only beaten by the '57 Victor, and not helped by its colour, washing machine white. You could see the rust creeping along it on a wet afternoon. Very comfortable, and quite spritely for such a big body with only a 1.6 engine, but boy, did it rot! This isn't a TL, it's a higher spec, probably TX as suggested. -- Last edit: 2015-02-21 11:53:31

Weasel1984 ◊ 2015-02-21 14:19	Yes it is TX/R1279, to bigger wheels typical only for TX since 1981 and mentioned by 929V6, it is also worth to add headrests on the front and rear seats and more important - chromed finiton of the side windows. The car wasn't too fresh anymore in 1993, so it could loose grille badge in the meantime. -- Last edit: 2015-02-21 15:37:07
