Which is perfect? I'd have thought something cheaper to run and buy would be perfect, maybe something like a *hates to admit it* diesel BX?

Shame they're so valuable. It would be cool to have a 1.4 spider, cheap tax (if you can't find an exempt one) and light weighted-ness FTW. All the carb'd engines in 124 spiders were twin dellorto's IIRC, must sound lovely and wilst looking lovely = perfect soft top.

Dustin Hoffman drove a spider in the film "The Graduate".

If it was on the 20th, could've been me. Part of my land speed record attempt from Kent/Sussex border to the boondocks west of Carlisle. Up wasn't too good because of Brum traffic, but back home the next day - 420 miles in 6 hours, non-stop. Phew, good cars them BXs!
