it strikes me that it is a very english car with so many similarities to our cars of the same period. i used to love the saint with both actors so remember this car well.
i would love to own a nice classic, but dont think it will ever come to pass until my subaru is a classic. even my son has bought, done up and sold enough cars this year to just about be ready to buy a Mk1 Golf GTi. not that i'm jealous 
enjoy it and drive it to the UK one day.
