I think they should make the day it rolled off the line a global public holiday, so we can all go to the pub and drown our sorrows!

So has anyone looked into getting hold of one?
It would make a great addition to the collection. I doubt if you could drive it in Oz though, and quality may be a little dubious.
Maybe a group buy 
I'm in!!!

If it wasnt for the single slot CD in the dash you would think you had travelled back in time to the 70's.
Old style body, flat screen. Acres of black crackel plastic. not an air bag in sight
