Freddie, that was a great turn out and it’s nice that the rally was a manageable size and didn’t require 2 days to get around. The park looked like a beautiful place to talk a walk with all those spectacular trees. Your point about the strength of the British motor industry back then is very well taken and many of those Jaguars and Healeys are works of automotive art. If only the quality of the engineering could have matched the quality of design. Once we got to the late 70’s and 80’s it all came tumbling down. Nice choice Monica, that is a very feminine car and you would indeed look very good behind the wheel, tell Freddie to start saving hard.

That Opel coupe is a Kadett B. Late sixties/early seventies (Richard Hammond's "Oliver" is a regular two-door 1965 Kadett A, for reference). This coupe version was also called the Rally Kadett. And no, Vauxhall didn't have an equivalent. Allthough GM owned both, Opel and Vauxhall cars were not badge engineered versions of each other back then. That came later. The 3.0 CSi BMW is basically the forerunner of the first 6- series. The whole model range is called E9 (The saloon version was the E3, and- as you may have guessed- the forerunner of the first 7- series, and made during the same period, albeit a year or so longer than the coupe) in internal BMW- speak, and they were made between 1968 and 1975. Peronally, I think it's the most beautiful car BMW ever made. I even put it in my personal top 5 of all time for sheer looks. Maybe even top 3... And so many Mercedes Pagoda's(!). Those aren't cheap anymore... I counted, I think, five... I understand why Monica picked one of them as her favourite, though. They are so nice. I prefer the successor, the W107 myself, though...

Also, the rear lights had a different shape, I noticed. Also an example of the "posh" version, the Renault Major (later sixties examples were branded Renault 10), did I spot... Oh, and that red P1800 Volvo... that was snazzy! And the 300SL... ooooh...(!).

the best buys are the 1980's Mercs which you see the old boys driving around, bought from new, well looked after and never ramped raced or rallied.. but generally it's make do and mend here. Might not be rusty but most are bodged up because of either lack of spares lack of cash or usually both. for a small island, petrol is (was) cheap so cars here really rack up the Kms.. locals always describe their cars or bikes as "totally original and in excellent condition" seldom anywhere near the truth... caveat emptor !
