Blew the head gasket yesterday.
Suspension and steering parts worn.
Chrome bootlid ('U' shape) rusted.
Oil leaks on engine and gearbox.
A car of 47 years old that is still a head turner and a pleasure to drive, and will always look sporty.
12 km's to a litre with the twin zeniths (does not say much for modern technology?!)
Solid body with sleek lines.
Always makes friends wherever it goes.
My Rapier series 3a convertible gives me immense pleasure driving it. I use it a lot on the Maltese horrendous roads and it has no bad vices. Very quick if pushed, and very economical if driven sensibly. Most of all, I love to park it alongside Mercs and BMWs, and see the young generation and old admire it's beautiful lines and curves, and totally ignoring the expensive disposable machinery next to it!
