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 😀
