Another nice example of my favourite colour for cars: :)

I used to be indecisive, now I'm not so sure!

My paint man David had a customer bring him all the panels stripped off one of those for respray, damn near filled his workshop. :-D

Ha ha, probably the lowest probability of gaining a LHM puddle in the spray booth but space consuming.

I'm amazed how much space is consumed when you've a job needing to dig down into the engine bay and so remove lots of stuff. I've not removed bodywork in bulk (like you can with a DS) but suck bulky things that are at risk of scratching if badly stacked must fair take up room! :-D

One of the modern SUV leviathans would just blow that into dust if it were to collide at speed.

Even lighter than my base-model AX!

I'd expect the front bumper from one of those probably weighs as much Paul!

This is an exact replica of the first one I ever rode in. My Scout leader owned it and he used to take me to various places for Scouting activities as we did not have a car at all. It then became my bedroom wall poster and has remained as my favourite car I've never owned ever since. I can't see me ever owning one now unless the lottery comes up, which is unlikely as I don't buy any tickets! :-D
