Remember these beautiful cars coming out of the luton factory as my dad friends had newspaper stalls outside the gates and I worked at both stalls. These guys both had new crestas, 1 sebring silver and the other aqua blue. I eventually went on to work for Vauxhall ( patrs warehouse ) for 44 years. Dad & grandfather & brother worked in the luton factory. Thanks for sharing.
Beast of an automobile! Very few of these beauties in the Welsh Valleys back in the day, but I used to see a dark green one driving through my village now and again.
Stumbled across a photograph of my dad and his cresta pc today. Think it was j plate 3.3 with fuel cap located behind rear registration plate. Loved that car.
Nice looking car from all angles ,very American looking ,l remember them in the kate 60s and wish my dad had one with the big comfy armchair seets and the square styling ,instead of our old grey 1959 ford popular ,the late 60s ,highrise flats going up everywhere ,skinheads and al that soul issac Hayes shaft ,Cloud 9 ,the temptations, music and cars always match
984francis - Depends if it’s running a distributorless ignition setup and how it’s been configured., plus what exhaust system, cam, compression ratio etc. The overall efficiency of the engine could be much improved or it could be developing much more power at the expense of fuel consumption, it depends on how the engine was tuned.
Dad brought this car home when I was 5 in 1973. I remember all the red vinyl. I remember the bench seats like yesterday. It was 50 years ago

I had one of these beauty's back in the 70s, loved it.
My uncle had one when I was a nipper. Gold colour. I thought it was so cool. I'm 61now. Still think it's cool❤

I had a similar dark blue vm 68 3.3. Deluxe. The front seats otherwise look the same, but my car had separate seats that were close to each other.
Hmm. With those carbs, consumption measured in yards to the gallon? Looks nice though. Interesting and rare car.

PA Cresta ❤ PB Cresta 👍 PC & PCE 👎
last of the big Vauxhall's they look a bit like a smaller Victor 101
I don't understand - I thought Cresta PCs/Viscounts were _bigger_ than Victor 101s (FC).
Much bigger than a Victor 101.
