Fine bit of engineering the Javelin - I've always thought it was way nicer and better than the Morris Minor / Major.

Fantastic lines to the Javelin - much like the Jupiter...

...wow - just wow!

When it comes to British cars of that age for me it is Jowetts and perhaps stretching to a Pathfinder rather than the more obvious alternatives.
