Thanks for that. I like to know these things. I wonder will it ever make it back on the road.
It's waste just sat there decaying
 

booze and cake

probably out cycling
I saw some classic European designs in excellent condition dotted across the city this afternoon. Karmann Ghia convertible.

An original Jaguar XJ6 4.2 litre from the first year of its release, 1968. 51 years old and still a lovely looking car I think.

And surely the most beautiful Peugeot ever made, admittedly that's not very hard. I did like the Pininfirina desgined 406 Coupe, but this trumps it in the looks department, another Pininfirina design, classic European style. 504 cabriolet.

I had one.

For about 250 miles.

It was indeed a thing of beauty, and a friend sold it to me for, I think, £1200.

A couple of weeks later I and my then girlfriend, soonish wife, set off for Cornwall.

We never got there.

Long story short, it was dragged away for scrap.

I still feel the hurt.

My friend, to, I thought, his great credit, a few weeks later, thrust I think £600 in notes in my hand, sort of apologetically. I accepted it embarrassedly. Said he had sold me the car in good faith, and I had bought it knowing that things like that happen to old cars. Or certainly did in those days. But I did accept it, thanked him and said I thought it was very good of him, and that was that.

Nicest car I've ever owned.

For about a week.
