Funny...all cars are continental. Japanese & English included, these two countries being situated on either end of the Eurasian continent (ie ALL cars are manufactured on one continent or another).

My Caravelle has a CARAVELLE GL badge, yes.

It's a 7-seater, with lightish-blue velor seats; every seat has hinged armrests (not a good idea on the driver's). Blue carpet throughout, velor padded door/side trim. Yucky gruel-colored vinyl headlining.

No electrics eg aircon, cruise, power wondows & mirrors (though I'm eventually remedying that). Chromed steel bumpers with rubbing strip (actually front is alloy bullbar/bumper, but I'm swapping it).
