@John B,

I used to get to work quicker than returning home, as it was SLIGHTLY uphill, on the return journey.

My first car was a 1968 440 cortina with 100,000 miles on it..

A veritable racing car compared to mine.

It wasn't a chick magnet though...

Always wanted a Cortina , at a later date I had to settle for the Ford Anglia same style & colour as Harry Potters car but mine did not fly . Thought I was the Bees Knees with that one Hope he does not read what you said about not being a chick magnet  otherwise he might change his mind about the car.

 Like I said ahhhh the good ole days    at least it let you lay in a bit longer.

A mate of mine in those days had well off parents and he had a Ford Zephyr  ( bloody show off ) and it had a radio in it.

  Dazz was you referring to the Cortina as not being a chick magnet or the Elantra , please say the the Cortina  I don't want to spoil his future.

Thank,s  Surferdude, took some finding but worth trolling through many cars. Most of them at our price range were well over the 100.000 ks.

Was it a valve type with a humming inverter to power it
