I'm not surprised, I hear he's very fond of that Morris Oxford.
Did he make you wear driving gloves and a flat cap before he'd let you behind the Bakerlite wheel?

Oh yeah? I like old Triumphs, what did he have?

Dolomite Sprint
He said it would see off anything on the road and twanged knicker elastic at forty yards.

Of course, we are talking about a long time ago. Standards were lower then...

EDIT: and knicker elastic was a lot stronger.

One of the first sports saloons, the Sprint. Triumph beat BMW to it by a good few years.
They're still capable of keeping up with modern traffic, with a bit of tweaking.

Ugly, though.
