Wow, you [thumbsup]

 

I didn't see the c-max or grand c-max in the flesh. Think it was only available for a v short period. Didn't know this one so short is already longer...

 

This is what happens when you spend the last 40 years addicted to Brit car magazines...you learn to recognize common cars found in the UK...

 

The oldest mag in my collection is printed in 1966  [cool]

 

Here is an article I posted some time back from the magazine:

Wow an SD1 ! Don't think this 3500 was originally registered here. Malayan Motors only brought in the 2600 unless I am very mistaken. This car is perhaps an imported classic.

 

Some interesting fact about this car - the dashboards for LHD and RHD are shared. The instrument binnacle is modular and can be mounted on the left or right side of the dashboard. Look at the picture. The air vent in front of the passenger seat in this RHD car is where the steering column would sprout from in a LHD car.

 

Till today I still can't decide if that was a piece of ingeniously inspired design or a manifestation of the sheer bochapness prevalent in the dysfunctional Brit car industry at that time.

You are right. This one was from the UK. Saw it on a UK plate in singapore a few years ago.

If there was still Top Trumps today, I'm sure the modern day Alfa Romeo Giulia will feature prominently and will be definitely be a winning card.
