So difficult to find a clean, original version of these - 'cept that front grille, sorry.

A mate's dad had one of these on a C plate back in 1989 - amazingly he used to let us drive it! So many times I pulled away in 2nd forgetting about the dogleg box.

Oops.

A friend of the family bought one of those new for his wife in around 1987. She was and is an appalling driver and abused it mechanically for 20 years and although it looked like it had served on Indian Railways she never managed to break it. Impressive.

Lovely. Really like these, even though they are a little older than me.

This and an E30 M3 are the only two cars that have a "guaranteed" spot in my dream garage. The rest changes day by day.

What's the mileage, if you don't mind me asking?
