dsl ◊ 2017-06-30 21:22	I wondered if we'd ever find an A110 Standard with this pressed mesh grille - very rare poverty version available alongside De Luxe from March 64 when Mk2 launched, but there's 2 cars used with a Deluxe as well - the grille changes when the tyre bursts. 1357 PF was 1963 plate so should belong to the Deluxe (which becomes Mk1 as a result) but looks home-made plates when seen on it, so it's all a bit of a mess. The other strange thing is that this is the breakdown mechanic's car - the last person you'd expect to drive a knackered dangerous deathtrap - even if he could only afford a cheap-as-chips banger, it would be well maintained and safe.
