Hi all.
I was watching an old Peter Ustinov movie and there was what looked like a mk1/2
parked at the side of the road near the end.
I said to the guys at work "bloody hell, theres my motor" and one of them said
"i didn't you got colour tv in those days" :lol: :lol: :lol:
Cheeky b*****d :lol: :lol: :lol:
I think the film was called Thirteen to dinner or something like that.
Cheers Mark. sm4

In Redhill, Surrey driving through: F104 DGP a 1.7i 340 5 door, light blue almost mint. Elderly couple driving. Not a smokey old banger at all - very nice.
