Since we'll never be overtaking anything in it, do we really need RHD? One day I might crack and import a decent W123 from Germany...

I hate to be That Guy, but Vredestein tyres are Dutch, I'm afraid. ;-)

Heh heh heh. I'm never lending you my driving gloves, though.

What do you mean, a heavy English accent? The Queen's English has no accent, everyone else does. ;-)

Also called Trafficators. You see them on some old British cars, though not many are brave enough to run them without fitting 'real' indicators as well these days!

883 total, comprising ~25 Mk1 estates like the one in this article and mine, ~120 mk2 estates, 180mk1 saloons, 360 mk2 saloons, and ~150 Rover-badged autos.

Yes, it does. 883 were built by MG/Rover before they went bust - most MG badged, some Rover (the Rovers had an auto gearbox).

Hell, while I'm in gloat mode...

i bought one earlier this year, for $12400 (converted from pounds). Worth every penny! It's slightly mad, but puts a smile on my face every drive. And that's at UK petrol prices.
