I bought a new Kingswood 186S in 1968. It died from rust and engine failure in early 1974, just in time for me to order a 202 LH SLR, sight unseen, which turned out to be the biggest POS that I have ever owned. That was traded on HJ Kingswood 12 months later. I remember the ‘odds and evens’ rationing of petrol, and wondered why people were trading ‘gas guzzling’ 6s and V8s to gain an extra 5 >10 mpg when they got SFA trade on a 4 cyl. I did the sums, and they didn’t compute to a logical financial result. It didn’t compute then, and doesn’t compute now, with our being herded into ever-decreasing engine sizes some people think will stave off the end of the world............. if Convid19 doesn’t get in first. So, yeah, I think I obviously was. |
