Being a Design student nothing American has ever looked so expensive, contemporary and, well, hot.

I want. and the fact it went well just sweetens the deal.

Toronado, perhaps?

[IBrake4Rainbows]

Toronado looks distinctly American. and in my mind a little cheap.

the Riviera has a certain....Waftability, that they talk about with the New Rolls Royce. The sense of effortless movement.

also, while the Toronado has nice detailing, the Proportions are just iffy.

OK, found it. Not just the model name, but the actual car in question!

It's a Vauxhall 20/60 Kingston Coupe, and is currently up for sale. Yours for £26k.

OK I never thought about it, but had somebody asked I would have guessed it was a post war development. But very well spotted....what is link for access to British License plates? Matra gave me one some time ago, but now you need to register to get access. (I wanted to identify classic Bentleys...)

Go to "Vehicle Enquiry". You need to know at least both the license plate and the vehicle make to do a search.
