Gary, Thank you I consider myself lucky to have found this car.
I tried to look at your 50 (I do like the four door as well) I drove my 4 door 50 every day for about 7 years. The link to the images on your website did not show me the photos. I will visit again sometime to see if it works, I see you are aware of problems with the site as you lost your blog as well.
Your car has its virtue as well.
Like all four door owners I "aspired to" a two door, and set about looking for one. I LOVE the shapes and the grill on the 50, so a 50 2 door was an obvious choice. The two door came from Canada.
I do not have a garage so could not keep two. It was a very sad day when I had to part with the four door. I did not realise what I had, until it was time for it to go.
My 4 door was black and it really did cut a "Handsome" figure on the road! The car was original including the old paint, roof racks, dings and scratches. Possibly scarey looking!
Interesting. I would always get comments from men about the four door. Never women. I think it was just too imposing.
The blue car is at the other end of the scale all "Pretty" and the ladies do comment.
The two cars are very differnt, I think the first car had four doors so that the THUGS could jump out quickly to rob banks and stuff........... Four door was also far more practical as I could pull the back seats out to carry heavy loads between the front and rear axles rather than in the trunk.
