Nice looking car, but why's the steering wheel on the wrong side?

From Cheerio's link No less an authority on grace than Sir William Lyons was rumored to have tossed his scones on his first sight of a Dart

Police version of the SP250 was known as the "Fresh Air Pursuit Car"! Always wanted one but put off by reliability.

Most Triumphs ive had over the years have had dodgy differentials, and an amazing ability to resist rust in the rear quarters....probably due to the oil that leaked from them.

Never seen a clean dry Triumph underneath in my life

A mate had the diff go in his TVR 3000M surprise surprise it was a TR6 diff which couldnt handle the torque of the Essex V6...whole lot went bang and left a nice little trail of oil behind. They had to take the rear window out to remove the original and replace it.

I used to drive a Series V Sunbeam Alpine (1967) as my everyday car for many years. One day, I parked outside the shops and a very elegant, middle-aged woman came up to me, put her hand on my arm and said, "Y'know, I've always loved the Daimler Dart".

Eh? The Alpine ain't that ugly! At least it doesn't look like a guppy

Cheers
