Fond memories of cars gone by...

[Black Sheep]

I remember reading that the chap that designed the front end of the TR7 never met the one that designed the back end!!

also one of the italian styling house masters (think it was bertone but could have been mr pininfarina) looked at it at the motor show it was launched at and the crowd waited with baited breath to see what this master of automotive design was going to say,

he looked at one side, walked round the other "good God, they've done the same to this side!"

Princesses and Ambassadors...they were bad. A mate nearly killed us once - driving too fast approaching a hair pin, then realised the brakes were crap...we only just made it - he got a stack of abuse off us.

the austin princess was a lovely car

the leyland princess was a lump of cheese

The styling, the lovely colour, the fit and finish, quality engine........
