Had an MG 1100 (I was a flash git when I was young!). Others of that time may be completely extinct. Triumph Heralds aren't seen much, are they? Much earlier, my father had a 2 litre Vauxhall with 'streamlined', beetle back, bodywork. I think it was 6 cylinder. That was in the early 1950s. No idea what the model was called, but I'd love to find one.

LOL, I'm afraid that doesn't count Daisy, A monza exhaust would only slow one of those things down, extra weight !.

[DaisyNonna]

Who are you trying to insult Answer? Me or the Mennonites ? Either way, you have not succeeded.

[FredPuli43]

The Vauxhall (above) was a Standard Vanguard then

Alright! Calm down missus - no need to get all Amish on me!

[tonyav]

LOL @ Fred, yes I can just about remember those old Vanguards with there slopeing backs.

Another of my favourites from way back is the Jensen Interceptor.

[FredPuli43]

Really, AP? Why? It had an old American engine. Was it the look?

Yes AP a lovely car, always fancied one of those myself, mainly because of it's 440 cubic inch Chrysler V8 engine.

[tonyav]

Down side to them was they were built in West Brom !.

[Answerprancer]

It was Italian designed, British made and had a Chrysler V8 engine but what the hey.
Yes, the look and that glorious sound.

Got a couple of great photos of one I saw at Brooklands a couple of weeks ago.

Oh dear Tony, I've just seen the score......try not to be downhearted

luv N x

(I know this thread is about cars but I wanted you to know I was thinking about the Villa tonight)

[tonyav]

I will most likely be seeing some proper cars in a couple of weeks, going down to Santa Pod at Whitsun ( weather permitting ).

[shoota]

I overtook a Ford Zodiac on the M3 the other day, left hand drive unusually.

[tonyav]

nungate, the gunners are winning 4 -1, thats excellent for the Villa.

[Answerprancer]

Never been there - I must go sometime.
I've just recently got a bug for cars, went to Brand's Hatch the day before yesterday - was a great day out.

[tonyav]

Bloody hell shoota, a very rare car these days.
