There is nothing, nothing, like the smell of an old British car interior. My wife calls it musty, I call it heaven. Old leather and wool and whatever they stuffed the seats with, a little oil and grease from the mechanicals, and I swear you can also smell the hint of early fall leaves, but maybe that is just memories…

I have no idea what it’s worth but I love it and want it. So, if I had a pile of imaginary money I’d be skipping on over to the left coast for what a road trip back to Albany, NY that would likely go as well as Jeremy Clarkson’s Lancia Beta did in Botswana. NP!

Isn’t this the quintessential brown wagon that the Jalops here salivate over?

You know, I think you’re onto something here. There really aren’t many of these on the road. And probably for good (costly) reasons.

I’ve long thought you produced the best writing on this site, but your use of the British art of the understatement paired with a British car is brilliant.

$20K?! ZOINKS!

“personalized and complicated”. That is the nicest way to say “dog crap” I’ve ever heard... well done.

To be fair, I’m sort of trolling you all today. This was just too good not to share.

Yeah, Radwood here I come! Completely irrational NP and I know it. I once belonged to the Yahoo Groups A Body club - lol. To be honest, there are a couple more versions I’d rather have than this one but neither had the 3.8.

I think you meant $7 Gran.

It’s sort of cool. If it were like $3,500 it would make a decent beater.
