It's funny being in the US and seeing the way the lines on imported 
classic cars are so spoiled by the rubber bumpers and extra lights etc. 
- makes me wonder what the laws are regarding putting such vehicles back 
as they were originally designed...

I still want a Scimitar at some point - I went the Stag route a few 
years ago but wouldn't mind owning its competitor too :)

To whoever mentioned a "vintage mini", we all know that there was only 
ever one true mini and the modern BMW offering doesn't count - so the 
"vintage" is unnecessary ;-)
