Mine had no rust at all. Apart from the bumper. And I was once stopped by a policeman when I had a car full of drunken footballers who informed me that "I stopped this car because it is very rare with the Special edition gold rust bumper". Barsteward.
Nearly cost me my life. I was driving back from Castlebellingham to Belfast and at Hillsborough was going round a roundabout - brakes failed. The car toppled over the "wall" of the roundabout and I bounced upside down about 3 times.
Was lying like that for probably seconds when people came over. I asked them to turn me over which they did. I seem to be very cool and collected in an accident. Always.
I walked away unscathed or so I thought but had lumps all over my head, severe bruising on the thighs and so on. No didn't wear a seat belt then. No wonder I am not right.
Bought secondhand, got a surprise when I found out it didn't have a heater. Took me everywhere without fail and never broke down on the road. Pig to start in the winter though.
The Corgi - James Bond DB5 with working ejector seat with rear shield and front machine guns that popped out. I preferred my Matchbox cars over the Corgi and Dinky ones.
1957 Austin Cambridge. Cost £30 , it went perfectly for 6 months before the engine blew up, but I got £10 back from the scrap yard for it so a bargain, worked out at £3.33 a month. Oh yes, I remember now I sold the clock for £2 so even more of a bargain.
^^ The Cambridge had a bench front seat as well as a huge rear seat!
Me and my girlfriend in the front and my best mate and his girlfriend in the back. Passion Wagon !
