the 3.5 V8 SDi of the 80's

Great car, regrettably my employer in the 70's, only ran to a 2600: What a dog:
It was the first car I had with electric windows, within 10 miles of the dealership the passenger window dropped the whole way down, leaving me to travel 200 miles up the A1 with a raincoat for protection.
My wife thought that the passenger seat belt was a little hard to put on, a neighbour then told me that none of my rear lights were working: On investigation, it came to light that the wiring loom went over, instead of under, the seatbelt mounting!
After 10 months, and three new engines, my employers gave up and let me have a Saab 99, which is what I wanted in the first place (I'd already had 3).
That's just a precis, suffice to say, I was on first name terms with every AA patrolman on the M62!
