not had one but always liked them, was at Lydden hill a couple of weeks ago and there were three there together, two road cars one sprint car looked really nice, a classic shape.

my dad had a white 3.0 Scimitar, black interior, webasto roof, overdrive, used to always have a flat battery, think it was an M reg 74.
