following a couple of recent threads i thought maybe i would try and put the Gordon on the map properly . i rarely read anything at all positive in more recent articles but in the day was it all that bad ? i have never read of a Lands End - John O'Groats run by Allard Clipper , Tourette, Coronet, Powerdrive , Jarc , Astra, Bruetsch etc. etc. this was always regarded as a reasonable test for ANY vehicle back in the day . any thoughts on why the Gordon is always so poorly regarded nowadays ?
