I snow plowed my driveway for years with a my daily driver 66 IIA, and my later daily transportation was the IIA ambulance. (It let me park at the hospital in ambulance parking, because no one could figure out what it was). I think I have owned 9 including an '88 Range Rover, which was a great vehicle, but not repairable. As sad as it seems, my favorite vehicles had Lucas electrics, which were not totally reliable, but were totally understandable. The latest LR has a Cummins 4 in it. It has about 6 wires in the harness and only enough basic systems to run. Kind of why I like Vincents. We have a Prius now for running around town, and it is a wonderful vehicle, but no soul. By the way, my local vehicle excise tax on the Vincent is 5 dollars. Try to explain to the retired dairy farmer tax collector and his wife what a Vincent B Rapide is...
