That sounds like a factory correct restoration.

I drove a Series 3 once. It was an automatic leaking gas into the trunk, the tires were beyond gone, bits were falling off it every time we stopped and it wasn’t as fast as the noise suggested.

I LOVED EVERY SECOND.

Especially the SL. Ugh.

Sentimental attachments are fine. If not, he can buy my ‘58 ragtop I have for sale. Car has never lived out of a 5 mile socal radius since new, and for the last 50 years on the same street.

James May’s personal brand, and preferred type of television work, is him just messing around amiably. He’s maintaining his brand for slightly eccentric middle aged englishman with an interest in esoteric subjects.

I for one welcome the change to Sarcasm Day from April Fool’s Day. The slight adjustment in fog light position made me jump up and punch the wall.

One big group of folks downtown knew exactly what it was, but they were also British. :)

He's owned it for as long as I can remember, probably about 25 years. Solid car, no rust that I could see last time I was there...it's a '68 with a 4.2L, automatic is the biggest issue…

That was your first date? Keep her.

Koenigsegg looks at the last 50 years of car technology and says "Toss it all, I can do better!", Morgan looks and says "Toss it all, we ALREADY did better in 1930!".

All they had to do was make SimCity a Simcity 2000 HD instead of the Always on SimCoupleOfCityBlocks and we wouldn't be having this conversation.

I NEVER thought the time would come when I'd admire the styling of the Cygnet.

Oh wow, that's got pine nuts and Parmesan on it, too. Waaaaaaant.
