In all respects that's a lot of car for the money!

It's a foot longer than my XJ!

Is it longer than a Stagea?

Where are you going to keep this SJ? Will you have to garage it - I'm think of the potential for rot. I'd imagine that would take up much of even a tandem garage

Stagea is 4.8m. Galaxie is 5.3m.

Yeah, I've not really thought it through. That would be boring

I think it will *just* fit in the garage with the Aston. The 996 is in storage already and the Scimitar might have to join it. I need to get myself some proper workshop space.

Are you literally at the stage where you have more cars than you know what to do with?

But for more fun, give me some music suggestions.

It's 1966. I've just bought a slightly flash convertible. What tunes am I listening to ? I've already got Pet Sounds and Revolver and I'm on my way to the record store.

Donovan, Jefferson Airplane, Elvis

You're a year off a lot of the really good stuff arriving, but My Generation should do the trick

I want to be awkward and only listen to the latest new music, so I'm limiting it to albums released in 1966, and My Generation was Dec '65 !

On Zed's recommendation I'm heading into the listening booth with Donovan's Sunshine Superman and the first album from a new band called Jefferson Airplane.

Sunshine Superman has Season Of The Witch on it, which is an absolute banger.

Blonde on Blonde was apparently 66 if you’re that way inclined.

That is tremendous! Good luck parking it anywhere! #yourestickingoutabitmate

Stagea is 4.8m. Galaxie is 5.3m.

SWB Range Rover is 4999mm so it's 30cm longer than that

Even the LWB is only 5199mm

My wife is very keen to drive it, I've been trying to stress how much of a facking nightmare it will be to park I'm going to have to investigate some discrete parking sensors.

Well that's a cool motor innit

What has 12 wheels and 11.2 litres ? This !

Quite the convoy!
