I was told that, the 17 year son of the people I sold it to, put mine sideways into a tree and wrote it off.

It was a Bermuda Green EL Falcon OPT20. I did like would not particularily want it back though. I would much rather find out what happened to my Hillman Hunter Royal.

My first was a 78 Corona, was a really fun car, RWD & could only do a burnout if my mates were lifting up the back corner...

Don't think id buy it again but id love to know what happened to it for nostalgia's sake.

Hillman Hunter Royal eh ChrisCE? My Grandad bought one of those brand new in about 1975. Goldy brown. We got it when he passed away in about 1984 and used it for 5 years until the motor **** itself. We rebuilt the motor but it only lasted another year or so. Like all British cars of the time, they were geared low, so were maxed out at 90 - 110 kph. They don't last.

I wish I had got and put a Ford 2.0L engine in it, it would have gone well and been a bit of a sleeper too. It was immaculate. We gave it away to a neighbour to use as a paddock bomb.
