I was lucky enough to be given a new Mk1 Mica Blue Tbar as my first company car.I did 18k miles in it in just over a year and the only issue I had was warped discs at 12k. Having been lucky enough to own some other exotic machinery over the years , I came back to the Mk 1 fold about 18 months ago. Firstly, I cannot believe how cheap they are (albeit in varying condition).Secondly, they are just as much fun to drive twenty five years on ,as they were when they were new. My daily drive gets left behind if I need to nip somewhere in a hurry, no other car is such a hoot on a short blast. If E-Types are fetching £100k (and compared to the Mk 1 they are like a tank to drive ) ,then IMHO the Mk1 should be fetching 5 figure prices by now. Still that's every ones loss and our gain!
