...something that would be very useable would be a saloon car in about the 2-litre class of the 1960's... say Rover 2000TC, Triumph 2000, Sunbeam Arrow.
[/ QUOTE ]Ok, I'm definitely biased, but it would be hard to find an overall better choice for modern traffic conditions than the Triumph 2000. They're not exactly common, as only around 1800 of them were "officially" sold in the US. They're very roomy and comfortable inside, and performance isn't bad even in stock configuration. Note that later versions not sold in the US had yet better performance (2500cc, fuel injection, etc.), and it's not all that difficult to "upgrade" a 2000 with TR6 motors and such.
Oh, and there are also four-door Heralds, but you pretty much have to go to India to find one of them. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smirk.gif
