My 1989 240DL does - and keep fit windows.

By contrast, in 1989 all BMWs were fuel injected.

Awfully sorry, I wasn't Ignoring you, can I possibly offer a 1989 Fiorino 1.9 diesel with manual pump advance lever which looked a bit chokey?

I googled it and t'internet claims the last factory cassette car was the 2010 Lexus SC430 sold in the US.

As for foot dip and benches - I remember being amazed to see s mark2 Cortina with column shift and a bench seat in the scrappies once - I assume it was an option.

My 68 AMC has foot dipswitch (and no headlamp flasher) but that’s cheating coz Yank innit?

A30 had semaphores, I believe they were dropped for the A35 but kept for the van (and/or) maybe the countryman.

Grease nipples on a passenger car. I'll nominate MGTF which was manufactured up until 2010 or something?

Yes I bought one. It was a 1300 Mk2 with column change and a bench front seat. Didn't have it long but useful for when the girl friend was in the car....

Not including Daimler Ds420 and Rolls Phantom Vl of course.

They made the ds420 till 1990 didn't they? Got to be a winner.

Yes, but it’s a bit like using Defenders, Caterhams or Nivas as examples of archaic shit, they weren’t really normal cars.

I’m sure there’s a joke about some of WTC’s photos counting.

Less annoying tag line.

Chrome hubcaps?

Running boards?

Less annoying tag line.

Mexican-built Beetles sported both until around 2004 I think although the very last ones may have had painted hubcaps.
