The mk2 cavalier was the first world car.  GM called it the J type. In the USA they had various Chevy/Pontiac/Cadillac versions. South America had a version that ran on ethanol and called itself a Monza, and holden had a version (which gave us the estate rear end)

 

I does know this, as I posted a reply two posts down

 

Let's buy it!

Austin FG, the famous Thruppenny Bit :)

 

To elaborate, before midnight, and because for years I never understood the term... perhaps because born after decimalisation.  With added OCD

 

While BMC coined the term “angle-planned” to describe this arrangement, the FG’s unusual shape soon led users to refer to it as the “three-penny bit”, after the pre-decimal, twelve-sided British coin of that name

Even so, it still doesn't make much sense.  It had 12 sides, for starters.  Dodecagontastic.

the engine has been running fine till its last journey in the wood now circa 8 till 10 years ago.

 

This sentence doesn't actually make it clear whether the engine was working or not when parked.

Spelling not the seller's strong point, then. Car is apparently located in "Middelsex".  :mrgreen:
