I carry three keys when I'm driving my Alpine. One works the ignition. One locks the doors. One locks the boot.

In my own little fantasy world this seems like an excellent way for Peugeot to revive their long dormant Sunbeam Alpine brand.

I think it was a maroon Mazda Luce 1500. Would have been about 2 years old at the time.

@jaygryph: There's always Gilbern. Oh wait, they're dead too.

Sunbeam Stiletto. Though the sedan it was based on was also a two-door.

Oh yes, I had Buggem and Tough Tom. No surprise that it didn't take long for bits to become permanently broken off. I've got a feeling the remains of the set could still be somewhere in the depths of my father's shed.

Having in the past owned one of the Simcas that provided the oily bits for the Bagheera, I'd be up for some more punishment. Nice price.

In no particular order

this thread needs more Lucas.

How about the Hillman Avenger? Launched in 1970, production continued in Argentina until around 1998 I think. The last 16 years production was by Volkswagen bizarrely, but as far as I can tell it was essentially the same car.

4 appears to be a Corolla.

Here's the power plant of my Imp.

@UDMan: Yes, it's a government requirement in most (if not all) Australian states.

Nothing new here.

4 June 1964. Chrysler buys shares in the Rootes Group.

My Hillman Hunter. Even when things did go wrong it would never fail to proceed. No wonder the Persians made it their national car.
