Not only were they funny looking they were also funny to drive! We may not have won the world over with our powerful, throbbing, earth-shattering 4-pots but I'm damn sure we won it in the comfort stakes!! Every car I've had that were made before the 90's always seemed to drive like a couch-sooooo comfortable. No speed, no brakes, but you didnt care because you were so laid back in your mobile couch!

Yep, very classic british sports car. Very nice. I just read the specs and it says that it was 'limited' to 115mph due to its gearing, but would go faster if it was one with overdrive. Quite fast for a 1962 car, especially seeing as it'd feel like you were in a roller skate!
