Scimitar!

I took these last week in Scotland, which turned out to have way more interesting cars than I would have expected (and a shocking number of Miatas).

The friend I was staying with decided that she finally needed to own a car, now that she’s not living in cities with obnoxiously useful public transportation. I valiantly tried to explain to her that she needed an old Land Rover, but she’d have none of it. She wanted a used New Beetle, but I think I talked her into either a used Mini or a Volvo.

Funnily enough that Scimitar has German plates(Main Taunis Kreis, near Frankfurt), which means that it likely is, or at some point has been, reliable enough to drive all the way from Frankfurt to Scotland, which is around 1000 miles.

It probably went from Frankfurt to Scotland and has been parked in the same place since 1972.

Hi lads, as a matter of fact that Scimitar is mine - and I drive it between Frankfurt and here in St Andrews once a year when returning to either home.

I want to say though: My daily (!) in rain, snow and sunshine and a cracking car - particularly with the Swaymar engine it has!

Glad you liked it in any case!

I like it a lot! But did you know Princess Anne had one of those, too?

It’s gorgeous! It’s great that you daily such a cool car. Seeing cars like that on the street really made St Andrews feel even more special.
