"[FONT=&quot]It was in a big Austin-Healey that French artist Sacha Distel chauffeured Brigitte Bardot around, perhaps even on her visits to Pablo Picasso."[/FONT]

Distel was actually a singer/guitarist, famous in France for "La Belle Vie", popularized in the US as "The Good Life" by Tony Bennet.

"[FONT=&quot]The BJ7 was only made as a two seater."

My four-seater must be really valuable. [/FONT]

Good article, though. Thanks for posting.

– Check for oil leaks"

Meaning, make sure it has a few?
