droop snoot

The front ends were different, featuring Vauxhall's trademark "droop snoot", as designed by Wayne Cherry.

A version of the Rekord E was sold by Vauxhall in the United Kingdom from 1979 as the Carlton, with a droop snoot.

A facelift for the 1983 model year saw the disappearance of the droop snoot front, in favour of a more traditional (though still angled) grille shared with the equivalent Opel.

Externally the most obvious difference in appearance from a standard C-135 or C-18 aircraft was the large, bulbous, "droop snoot" nose, a ten-foot radome which houses a seven-foot steerable dish antenna.

Regular favourites include the Firenza HP 'Droop Snoot', Chevette HS, Astra GTE Mk1 and the ever-popular Lotus Carlton supersaloon.

This model used the "droopsnoot" nose cone, which had been designed by Wayne Cherry, Vauxhall's Chief Design Engineer to be used in the HP Firenza Droop Snoot model.

Notable cars among the collection include the 1903 5 HP, the second-oldest Vauxhall in existence, the recently restored Firenza Droop Snoot, Astra Mk1 GTE and the Lotus Carlton, the first super-saloon.

Equipped with a steerable seven-foot antenna dish in its distinctive "Droop Snoot" or "Snoopy Nose", the EC-135N A/RIA became operational in January 1968, and was often known as the "Jimmy Durante" of the Air Force.

The Sports Hatch limited edition did not share the uprated 2279cc slant four engine with the HP Firenza Droop Snoot model, but instead was fitted with the standard tune single carb 2279cc slant four engine and running gear of the Magnum.
