Hello! I've been reading here for just a few days and already I've learned
some neat stuff (the correct pronunciation of Jaguar notwithstanding) and I
look forward to reading lots more. I've never owned anything exotic (unless
you count my Stylus with its "handling by Lotus" as being exotic) but now that
I have my own house the 'rents can't stop me! Ever since I got to ride in
an MG when I was in 8th grade, I have wanted a a sexy little convertible to
tool around in. Which leads me to my first question: At about that time
(8th grade) I started watching the British TV show _The_Prisoner_. What
was the car that John Drake drove in the opening sequence? I think it was
a Lotus of some kind, but I'm not sure.
Second question: I'm going to be looking at a '76 Spitfire this weekend, and
in case I fall totally in love with it, what should I know so that there is
some hope that I can talk myself out of buying it. The seller is asking $3700.
I have no other meaningful info, other than that it is red.
Much thanks,
John.
