The Vans looked cool as too. I wonder how many of them they did for promotional work?

Climbing the Summit at Heathcote Junction.
Didn't know where else to post this but skip to 26mins 35sec you'll see a train load of new 90's Ford's heading for Enfield in $ydney.

Interesting last couple of carriages have the later Ford Capri's onboard.
Clip is a bit of a time capsule.

Maybe you should have skipped to 26 minute 35 second as I suggested.
