I'd pass that last image to the police - they will need it for their accident investigation. I believe the Huskisson family will survive, but it was a close run thing

A well looked after Mercedes W110 from 1965.

^^^ if it were maintained thoroughly that'd probably make a viable daily driver.

Yes - just keep it away from salt, well winter generally, as they and other Mercs rust, like most of that era.

Along with the Mini, the Moggy Minor is arguably one of the most characterful British cars ever made, and I saw two fine examples today.
And undo another shirt button to reveal that 70's medallion, its a Mk1 Ford Capri GT.

Pretty though the big Healey is, my eye was drawn to the Triumph Vitesse, the more desirable mk II version too. I used to have the mk I predecessor and I loved it

There is something satisfying looking at these cars and their rounded lines. I can`t see modern cars having the same appeal in the future, they are way too ugly and big, IMO. They were real cars, honest cars and something proud to have parked on your driveway. I often wonder if say Ford for example were to re-introduce the Capri but keeping the basic body shell and just have new engines and interior ( actually there was nothing really wrong with the old ). The big question is Would it sell ? We all know that we have the new Mini but it no way related to it`s predecessor. Anyway, back to the world of dreams.

Nothing wrong with the Capri,
Why'd you think owners carried a couple of slabs in the boot, and not modern thin things we're talking great big thick 60s 2' x 3' monster slabs here.

Everything was wrong with the Crapi, bit it looked so cool, so racy, it was a working class hero. That it cornered like a drunk one legged cat burying a poo on a frozen pond was irrelevant.

I had one of those exactly the same as that, smashing little car, I bought it for eighty quid, sold it two years later for sixty.
