Ah! but what a great car in its day! 3.3 litre flat 6 with around 220bhp. I hav'nt seen one in ages, very rare. I like them

Mad cars. I had a real thing about them back in the 90's, there was a woman down the road that had one. V nice.

I loved the wierd windows and the fact that you didnt see many of them. Saw one recently too - in a Subaru garage, busted gearbox (apparently happened alot to them).

I suppose I could get used to them. Looks like they would grow on you in a wierd way.
The windows, do they part open?

Yeah, you see where the rubber line is on the pics - thats the bit that opens.

They were very popular in the states and there are quite a few us based enthusiast sites and clubs. I think they are great looking cars.
