One cannot do much with all the monies in this world but can do much more if he strives toward contentment.

That Firenza is a beauty! Any chance of a picture of that leaflet showing all the text?

It's surprising just how many different colours there are on such a seemingly scarce item, not to mention the export version with LHD and Vauxhall name blanked out. Does anyone have a definitive list?

Is that the same sticker as we occasionally see on the SF29 Racing Mini?

Thanks Numi that's fantastic
I had forgotten about the little 1159cc one with the original Viva style front end and square (sort of ) head lights and to think they use a glove box and ashtray as selling points
