3yrs before that 1988 Volvo 740 ad, executive cars with 100% galvanised bodies had already arrived.
Aerodynamic, efficient, and with superb build quality.
The Audi 100.
Both our Audi 100s are rust-free, 35yrs later.
If you'd like to put your money into something solid, buy an Audi 100👍

Loved our Passat GL5 estate - seen here with our brother-in-law & my son on the bonnet - the short-stroke 5cyl in the GL5 was the sweetest of them all imho, and a great colour that never needed washing 😆
Heralds are indeed brilliant - I acquired one of each body style simultaneously in the fleet 😀
