    968 Envoy Epic, 3 door station wagon purchased in March, 1968 from Lounsbury's.

    As a second family car, it was used only for in town driving with one highway trip. Has Low Mileage with 30,000 miles. It has all original equipment, including tires.

    It hasn't been driven since 1988, and has been stored in the garage ever since.

    It has no major damage, which makes it a car for antique restoration.

    Serious inquiries only; reasonable offers accepted.

    Looks like an Opel product, like an Osconsa (sp)?
    All I know is these weren't sold in the U.S.

    These were real ladies cars where we were living when they were sold new. Seemed like nurses, teachers, bankers liked the size and economy they offered.

    I also seem to recall hearing the rust busy at work as we drove past the new car dealership.

    Somehow from the name, I knew it'd be a tiny car.

    These were Vauxhalls. The model was Envoy, the upper trim level was Epic. These were sort of neat, but very slow cars. Parts are a nuisance, and fixing them means a separate set of tools, since everything is English Offsize, neither metric, nor standard Imperial. Most of the English G.M. cars turned to rust many years ago. T think the last one I saw was about 30 years ago. As an aside, the envoy was the replacement for the Super.
