Yes, it is a classic and looks very cushy on the inside. Pity that it is so hideously ugly, demonstrating that even Bertone could get it wrong. Or is it sows' ears and silk purses? Must be one of the most misshapen cars in automotive history that, in its prime, would have appealed to ageing overweight property developers on Australia's pretentious Gold Coast.
Just after reading your mail I saw the subject's identical twin in the Brisbane traffic. I suppose if I had a car collection already I might consider it for weird curiosity value at that price. Till then I will just use the trusty old 240 wagon for hauling ten-foot logs and seven people (not at the same time). And it is better looking than the 262.
