OP
Geordie Spark
I've got a friend that swears by these, his last one had 410,000 on when retired (due to being to tatty!) also 250,000 of these were long distance towing as this was his business, he said he could put up with the fuel consumption (circa 24mpg with old e-type on tow) thanks to the money and hassle he saved on repairs (or lack of them!)
Very comfortable cars.
I used to drive from Geordieland to Southend & back in a day & from Geordieland to Wiltshire & back in a day feeling as though I'd just been sitting in a comfy armchair all day ..... no stress or tiredness at all.
