Fastest car in the world - a hire car, of any flavour!

Fastest car in the world - a hire car, of any flavour!

Especially in reverse

[Lizzie_Zoom]

I remember in 1986 I briefly had a 1 year old company 1.8 SRi hatchback.

It was like a rocket on rails at 130 mph, and just was a pleasure to drive. The company then decided that I should have a brand new Carlton 2.0 GL, which was good but so boring after the SRi!!

Far too quick for a 'mere woman'.

Surely they could have sourced you a Hillman Imp or a sedate old Humber, Lizzie.

Far more fitting for someone of the female gender.

Now that I would have loved Opti!

Super Snipe or Imperial, Lizzie?

I can almost detect the aroma of the finest leather and wood as I type this.

Super Snipe everytime!

Ah, a Super Snipe girl. I thought as much.

But a 1957 MkIV, with the bench seats front as well as rear!

Being much younger than yourself, I'm only familiar with the Humbers from the sixties, Lizzie.

I'd need to google a 1957 MkIV.

These were outwardly very similar to the Humber Hawk, which I drove when very young!!  My future father in law owned that one, until I busted it, but always wanted a Super Snipe.  Instead after the Hawk he bought a 1962 Austin Westminster and it was a fabulous drive!

Yep...I certainly recall the 'Westminster'......3 litre straight six if memory serves.

Austin had a habit of naming their cars after english counties way back then.

Austin Somerset and Devon come to mind.

Not forgetting the Austin Cambridge, with Morris introducing the Oxford!
