Apologies for the crap Italian in the Title!But anyone who has a soft spot for the dear old BMC 1100, as I do, may find this of interest - an actual surviving example of a Innocenti 1100 - go to www.austin-rover.co.uk and click on 'Car of the Month' on the list on the left.What do you think - I like it - but the extra chrome trimmings would just make it rust even faster (if that were possible) in the wet old UK.

There's one on this page at austin-rover.co.uk. Headlamps only, but I do remember occasionally seeing them sporting the full treatment years ago.Whilst looking for a picture, I discovered that Radford were fitting Facel Vega headlamps. You learn something new every day!

I’m especially impressed by the huge pair of corduroy trousers pressed against the window glass:

LOL!It's actually a carpet hung on the wall.The lady who owns the garage used it to stop her scraping the door on the wall when she opened it.
