I think ive seen the car before somehow.

Olympic blue do not that rare, but 19TRI's are rare as most were diesels.

Probably an automatic?

Do you think the TRI has sank down onto it's stops, or is that guy on the left REALLY tall? Like Olympic blue lots, but i've always preferred the look of the hatch's (unless it happens to be a 4x4 estate that is :roll:)

It was certainly sunk, seemed to be carrying the contents of a shed :lol:
I like the colour too, sort of reminds me of a CX and DS colour 8)
Can't remember if it was automatic ,perhaps that's what the little badge is below the ABS badge. They certainly didn't hold back on badges in the 80's :lol:

The rear end seems indeed to be on its stops, im sure that car was part one of 3 Estates advertised as part of a bereavment sale a few years ago. I remember their being a tidy G plate TRI auto with TZD Trims.
