Digressing further, my wife and I used to go to Arcane Auto Society events
in her Honda 600. There were usually a few British cars involved. I think
maybe one of those Triumph 1800s? And a big early Jag, not an XK.

Several years ago I attended the Microcar & Minicar national event in San
Francisco. There were Messerschmitts, Isettas, a Heinkel, FIAT 500s, 600s
and Multiplas, a Glas, and of course, a Metropolitan and a Mini (LBC
content).

If you're near Mountain View, CA,
it's the red one with the silver bootlid.
