what a blast to own and drive. Certainly the only one in my home town. All aluminum body, leather interior, dashboard looked like a spitfire cockpit.
Leather seats. Disc front brakes (1972!).
Lucas electrics sucked though. And you had to run only synthetic oil, and that was very expensive in '72.
My girlfriend's dad was a surgeon and he bought it for her because of the safety designs. Very advanced for the time.
She gave it to me.
Note that the paint job on this stock photo is not original. I can tell. Mine was red original.
Also it looked better with Mass plates :)
When I picked it up at the shop I had no idea what all the damn cockpit switches did. For example the starter had a push button, no key turn. And the mechanics had not completely closed the hood - and I didn't notice.
So I am driving home doing 75 on I-95 and the damn hood popped up. Completely blocked the windshield, could not see a damn thing except red metal.
All I could do was look out the side windows and glide over to the breakdown lane. Scared the piss out of me.
