Not bad looking. I had a Mk II 1.1 Ghia which was a great car, back in the UK. Upto 40 mpg, they reckon.

A friend had the 1.6 Super Sport. That was a good looking car.
I wouldn't get one though, after seeing a friend's XR2 (probably a 95 or 96 model) and it was broken into. Do you know how they did it? Then bent the window sill on the passenger side and pried the door open. Fracking tin-foil.

Still better than those Metro things. Who the hell designed those?

Confession time. My dad once had a...wait for it...an Austin Maxi! You could tell it was a vintage '70s BL car. The badge on the back was mis-spelt "Autsin Maxi"

And just as in the picture, ours spent lots of time being towed to the garage...

Oh yes, the Marina. I liked the Top Gear episode where they raced a Marina against a Lada. Beat the shit out of both. The Marina won but then...

And now Clarkson is in my crosshairs...the cheek of it...
Thanks for the early morning laughs
by the way...what a waste of a perfectly good piano...
