Fantastic cars, not many about now in good condition.

I nearly had a part ownership of one with the Brother in Law but we couldn't raise the funds in time. ::)

I suspect most of them sit in garages most of the time, while their owners save up for the petrol to nip down the shops. ;D

Speaking of rare-as-rocking-horse guzzlers I've always fancied a Gordon-Keeble.

I have watched a jensen slowly rot away over the last 25 years, its parked outside a house on the A427 Nr lutterworth, i know of several people that have asked to buy it but the owner would never sell, shame as it is now just a pile of rust  :(
