Here is an 18 year old car, well past its prime, but still in use and in a film. There is a broken headlight and sidelight, and the plated hubcaps are missing, the front near side wing has been crudely straightened after a bump and the car looks close to being taken off the road. If my memory of the car is correct the glass in the side windows may well have discoloured to a sort of murky yellow. Michael Sedgwick described this model as "beloved of shoestring motorists", looks like he was right. -- Last edit: 2014-12-19 13:30:26
