I would be very careful about that one. It seems to be built very badly, I mean look where they put the steering wheel !!

Ah but then the dream takes root.. and you find yourself requesting price lists.. and realising that it's going to cost nearly £40k to build the car you want.

Then the dream turns to tears and rage.

I mean. Er. Not that I'd know.

The only time I've ever been worth 'millions' was when I was in Turkey. IIRC £1 = 500 000TL but you've since knocked 3 zeros off your currency.  :y :y :y :y

I didn't know that.

I went to Istanbul in the early 80s on HMS Fearless when there was I think around 500TL to £1 and had a 20TL note (yellow IIRC) I should have kept it.  ;) ;)

Another place to be an 'easy' millionaire was Poland in the late 80's, the Zloty exchange rate at the time was very favourable as a tourist.

Indonesia is the current 'easy' millionaire country at the moment £100 will get you approx 1,426,000 Indonesian Rupiah  :o
