Who needs a make and model when you can just say the engine size and everyone knows what it is. "I've got a 500" See? S'obvious what it is. Let's try some others 550 Hmmm, that's not right, pretty sure it doesn't have a 550cc engine 850, that's better A Thousand, I had one of these (but it had an 1100cc engine!) 1100! 1300? 1600 1800 All yours, chaps

Yeah, but I thought the object of the post was to identify where the model name of the car was/is it's engine size. Meh!

There was a point to the post If there was, it's to picture a bloke down the pub saying "Yes, I've just brought the old ..... out for a spin" and knowing what he means. Good call on the 1275GT and the 6.9

Many years ago I changed my driving style to cope with rising fuel prices; I have now reached the stage where I am contemplating keeping my eyes shut in order to lower wind resistance.
