    I have had my eye on a very low mileage original gem for a while, apart from a blue smoke issue it appears to be outstanding.

    Is that a Mercedes part number on the arm ?

    Beautiful! Lovely car and a great job.

    Last year I saw one by the roadside near my house on Gozo, so I stopped to admire it. The owner came out of an old terraced house nearby, and we got talking - as you do.
    'I've got three.' he said. 'This one has done 7,000 miles now.'

    When I told him how much they sell for in the UK, he didn't seem surprised.
    'I would never sell one', he told me, 'because I like them'.

    So I consoled myself by thinking how easily they rust!
