    Close enough Marley, its a 603 which is the model just prior to the Blenheim - mine was a 1976 model, we used it as our main family car for a while but nowadays I would need a second mortgage each time to fill it up!

    :thumb: I sold it earlier this year for nowhere near that! It was not road worthy and its condition was getting worse, rusting away in the garage - hopefully its new owner will give it the tlc it needs :)

    Yeah I'd go for an Aston (any model) if money was no object and I didn't have this phobia of leaving any brand new car in any car park unless I can still see it. Anyone ever had a new car and taken it to the supermarket for the first time, then parking it in the farthest corner away from anyone else, then having to keep checking every 2 minutes? :eek:

    I have a Mazda MX-5 Eunos.
    It is very Yellow...

    I'd might go for a newer Mazda MX-5 although I must say, given the choice I'd buy a couple more of the older ones and have them done up all nice and shiney.

    Extremely amusing...not;)

    This is my favourite car...cause it's mine and I shall keep it road worthy for as long as I can.

    Old Scorpio, leather interior with all the electric bells and whistles, plus self leveling suspension, dual breaking system, air con, abs etc...and it's the nearest ride to a Rolls Royce that I have ever known (yea I have driven a RR) Got it for £600 in a deal I did 4 years ago.

    And as someone has already said, if I could afford any car then I would use the money on this one...just increase the engine size and put a better sound system into it etc.:thumb:

    No, John :). Lifes too full of potential problems for me to bother about it :D. That's what I pay insurance for :thumb: :). But I don't have a DBS so don't really know! :D :D :D

    Perhaps its just me, Mrs JWK gets annoyed when I park up at the supermarket get out then realise I've parked next to a banger (or worse an old scorpio :rolleyes:) then have to move it farther away. :)

    This was my dream when I was a lad. My Uncle had one and I cried my eyes out when he sold it and bought a bliddy Commer van!
