It looks excellent despite its age. But 2.8? It would be crazy to maintain it here.
Nice wheels. 
That is insanely low milage for a car that old.
That's a keeper, right there.

Hey Ted, I came across this today and immediately remembered your post. Surely you understand French, right?
I was given an Opel Kadett last year (that's Vauxhall in Europe) 1982, only 52 k on the clock!
Apparently, some old bloke just used it to go to the village and back home for years. That's crazy mileage.
I have it running, just need to change the brake pads and rotors.
Really worth the effort mate....
That is 52,000 km, not miles btw
The way we phrased it when an old car had low miles was "It was owned by an old woman who only took it to church on Sundays".
LOL.. blast from the past... my Dad had a Ford Cortina Mk4 and my next door neighbour had a beige Granada. I remember sitting on the Granadas bonnet and it seemed massive... also put a dent in it but it managed to pop up again... I was about 7 years old. Must be something about fords..... my first car was a VW Bora but ever since its been Fords. Currently driving a Kuga (Escape in America). Not flashy by any means but a comfortable drive with plenty of bootspace to put all my wife shopping in. :0
Well … it’s good the Bootie has boot space.
