Ingo ◊ 2013-06-13 22:16	Hmm, the only "made for USA"-Commer, we have, is /vehicle_440937-Commer-Express-Delivery-Van-1950.html

I always think of these door handles as early - just like those on my mum's 1961 Hillman Husky, and also used on the Lotus Elite. My dad had some role in their design (and/or their tooling) and told me when I was a peedie bairn that he met Colin Chapman during the sales negotiations.
