One For Classic Car Fans.....

But they could get the stakeholders involved and forge ahead with my idea. They won't get anywhere if they leave it on the back burner.

House!

I know which one I would prefer and it's not made across the channel

Moggies are one of those cars which have a highly distinctive exhaust note. The little "praaap" as the gear changes.

Is Austria not across the Channel? 😂

Originally I but GERMANY hence @Drago commenting.

Ignore my previous post.
I was thinking of the P5. A very different beast! 😂

Ah yes, the P5 as favoured by cabinet ministers and the like was quite a big car

Its in central Africa, I believe.

TBH I was never a moggie fan. Its so rare removed from Issigonis' actual designed its a real hodge podge. Crudely widened but only after the production tooling had already been made, hence the ridge up the middle. The envisaged flat 4 discarded for an inline. The original clean styling horribly bastardised. It was a real lash up.

But then it wouldn't have had character!🍿🍿🍿
A real jelly mould of a car!🤣🤣🤣

Lord Stokes thought it looked like a fried egg. Issigonis's inspiration was apparently a Studebaker of the period.

Finally got around to taking a couple of pictures of this rarity.

Heading to the A14 on the outskirts of Ipswich this morning were about half a dozen Austin Westminster or Wolseley 6/110 variants.

Nice to see one in its intended habitat. 😉

The Rettendon murders Range Rover has become quite notorious and has changed hands a few times for serious wedge.

I have a soft spot for the various big Farinas. I like the styling, and "gentleman's carriage" ambience, and I think they are mostly straight sixes too, the format I'm most keen on having owned a Vitesse. Not driven nor ridden on one, but have driven / ridden and liked smaller Oxford or Riley variants on the shape

Jags were the most common for that
