The K12 based version (like mine the more bulbous micra) has a rear window and rear homage to the Jaguar Mark 2 as well....

Not within the true spirit of this thread as there is one car guided at £250,000 and a motorcycle at £80,000 being an AC Cobra and a Brough Superior but those aside there is an outstanding variety of cars from a 1936 Standard Tourer to a Citroen SM, well worth a browse for any classic fan!! :-D

Not either Paul. Now if you had said "give us a clue" you would be closer the answer :-D

That is the correct answer! Well done.

Not quite in the same league as Kevin Keegan in his flares getting the keys to the Datsun 260Z. Paul may well know the garage in Liverpool. :-D

Quoting "Gizza clue" round here means Billy Butler. There's a great story about his radio phone in quiz "Hold On To Your Plums" I can relate if you've not heard it.

I was never a follower of football and so that would have passed me completely by. Apart from that, in the early 70s I was living and working in North Wales coming home only at the weekends.
