Truebut that's unlikely to help you with the woeful gearbox, utterly substandard cooling, water pumps made of glass, or build quality that would be put to shame by a blind paraplegic's attempt at a mud hut.
They are pretty though.

Herald 12/50Mk4 Spitfire. Didn't think of the Alfas actually, have just checked, only 29 of my 166 model left. Fucking hell.
I also had a Galant V6-24 that there are only about 500 left of, and I gave it away. Sadface :( :(

Oh fuck yeah.Cost me peanuts, rapid for an executive saloon, was in lovely nick, perfect leather, electric everything, would cruise in silence at 140 without a drama.
Problem was I ended up having to buy my dad's more or less brand new car off him, couldn't sanction keeping 3 cars at the time and it needed the front brakes and drop links rebuilding by that point. Parts were more than the car was worth so I gave it away.
