Re: [doc] M1 Crash/who's getting the garage

["Claire Usher" <claire_usher71@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

I should have some pics later to post up, but its a 14ft 6in long 4 
seater fastback coupe with twin headlights, lots of chrome 
and 'pillarless' side profile based on Hillman Hunter running gear. 
The fastback Rapier, the last true Rootes Group car to bear that 
name, was made from October 1967 to April 1976.  It has a 1725cc 
88bhp 4 cylinder engine with twin Stromberg carburettors and mine 
also has the optional 3spd Borg Warner Automatic 
Transmission.  "WGC265F" also has quite a nice early history, as for 
the first 13 years of its life it was owned by Colonel Lawrence, High 
Sheriff of Jersey and was imported into England in 1982 with a little 
over 20,000 miles on the clock only.
I still cant think of a name for her though!
Anyway, pics to follow, then the 'younger' members of the group who 
wernt even born when Rootes Group was still around can be 
enlightened :o)
