Picked it up today, long ol day, got back late, had a right headache trying to get the keys, but all's well that ends well. No pics as it was dark by the time I got home. Suffice to say, there are a number of clues littered in my earlier posts in this thread

Opel Monza?
You said not Vauxhall - you didn't say not Opel.
It ain't American and it will be quite thirsty on fuel.

I think secretly he has bought a Grosser but wants to spend a little quality time with it, polishing all the knobs and hoovering the interior with a Henry.

It won't be a car but an ornament in the shape of a car.

It's not an Opel. Another clue: it's a V8.

It is a British classic, I'll give you that. Just off to take a few snaps while the sun is out. "BRB" as they say.

Thinking, Cortina, Zephyr, Consul, and what that car was which is owned by James May in that challenge with the Grosser.....

Not sure Paul (PlanetC) would be pleased to hear you say that.
If I remember correctly, he had a fully restored Capri in his garage.
A Morgan Plus 8?

It does leave the field open when the criteria is -
A British classic car,
Built in 1980,
With a V8 engine.
Made by someone other than Vauxhall / Opel.
Could be any of-
Morgan,
TVR,
Caterham,
etc....
I am sure all the run of the mill marques were mainly upto V6.
Rover SD1
Ford Granada / Cortina
