I’ve always fancied an early Mini or a Morris 1000

The Minis are now insanely expensive.
I’ve had a couple of Jaguar XJ6s in recent years - a 1977 series 2 and a 1984 series 4.
Great fun and a huge presence but very expensive to run and they rust like hell.
The series 3 was a Sovereign in light blue metallic with pepper pot alloys, looked very smart.
