I’m sure any French owner of a Simca 1501 in these times would be very pleased to read your lines, Oiltreader! Seeing that his very proletarian car could be mistaken with a Mercedes 280 or Audi 100…

The classic three box styling is timeless and pure class whether Farina Austin Cambridge to Rolls Royce Shadow or 1960’s Cadillac to Chevy Impala.
Obviously BL didn’t agree with the retrograde ugly Rover SD1 replacement for the Triumph 2.5.

To add probably the best looking French car of all time.6 cylinder rwd was a bonus.

I love the " Jacked Up " rear suspension and wide wheels on the Ford Anglia.

Car companies spend millions on suspension set up, then the boy racer comes along and fits a few spacer plates and throws the whole suspension set up out the window along with the normal handling characteristics of the vehicle.

Hey Ho !
