Haven't come across that one, was it a Venezuelan Ltd edition marketed through Cord? :?

"Home is where you park it", so the saying goes. That may yet come true.. :oops:

Nothing serious there I was looking at buying an Allegro that had some work done to it and was flamed by other users and the deal fell through :(

Still liking my 'Rocco though still puts a smile on the face when out driving and the amount of folk that come upto you in garages and say used to have one of those or wished I had bought one of those when I had the chance :mrgreen:
