Classic six/seven seaters

#1 Post by Bollotti »

Hi,

I am in the market again for a classic and need something that will comfortably seat at least 6 people.

I have been down the Land Rover route in the past, so looking for something more car like.

The only cars I can think of are a Citreon Famile or possibly a Mercedes 123 estate. I did once have a Saab 95 which had 2 seats in the boot, but this would be too small.

Any ideas??

Thanks

How about Peugeot 505 Estate, Talbot-Matra Rancho or Espace Series 1?

I asked this about 6 weeks ago; some of the responses are good:

Unless you only do local runs, I've been advised that a black cab isn't really suitable as they're not very comfy.

I got to spend some time with a 95 last weekend and the rear seats are amazing, more usable legroom than in my W124 Mercedes! They're quite narrow though, so the middle seats only fit 3 abreast if you're small - but not so small you require a special seat!
…that's why Allegro will look as good 5 years from now as it does today.
