My first car was an Aggro 1100S - every time it rained it filled the little 'shelf' on the passenger side up with water .. making the passengers legs very wet the first time you took off down the road  ;D

What about these little flyers then? The 1300GT. Not fast by todays standards but very nippy in the 70's.

This picture illustrates just what I dont like about the classic car scene, the owner has stuck some chip baskets over the headlights and has some useless info on A4 sheets resting on the dashboard. On the plus side he dosent have a piece of varnished plywood with various rosettes and photos of the restoration nailed to it leaning against the front bumper ::)
