Thr Classic car show.

Just thinking of some of the classics I had, apart from the Triumph 2000 I also had

Datsun 180B SSS

and a Rover 3.5 SD1 with velour upholstery. I do miss velour, can't get it now as the velour cat that was used for their pelts is now extinct.

It was fairly exotic, pillarless doors, dog leg gear box which took some getting used to.

Mrs Mottie had a Datsun 120Y Automatic as her first car. Absolutely gutless it was.

Yes, really like velour interiors. Leather looks great, but cold in winter. Got an old Carlton with grey velour. Unlike many modern cars, it's seats aren't rock hard and are actually comfortable. And why do they need to make all interiors so sombre in black these days?

I'll take the SD1, even though I know it's V8 thirst will bankrupt me, and it will fail to proceed at every given opportunity. But then, anything with an engine or tits is always going to give problems eventually.
