Panther Rio....Dollop-of-shite in a party frock with Granny's eyes. Nice to see, though, I don't think I've clapped eyes on one since the 1975 Motor Show.

Bloody hell!

Serendipity indeed....I usually find stuff like that after I have paid retail for it.

Indeed it does.

I was like that until I got a tape dispenser. Having a 3lb weight on the end of the tape also dissuades me from hurling it at the sideboard.

Always feel that P5s are something to be enjoyed from afar. Lovely old things but not for me.
