In fifty years time, we will probably have had WW3 and the hugely reduced population who remain will have reverted to using horses.Quote:

I was offered a Nissan Skyline in decent nick for £2K. Couldn't buy it as I couldn't find anywhere to store it. Would have easily tripled my money on that now.
I could see some of the earlier Camrys becoming collectable once the vast majority of them are scrap. Buy one and tuck it away now, better than money in the bank.
I wouldn't want one now. They were nothing special to drive.Quote:

I forget what year, one of the mid 60’s models.Quote:

I've put a few photos up in abstract gallery section of my recent trip to the highlands by motorbike if anyone is interested :D
Ah yes. The Mk.I with the Essex 3.0 V6 engine that was prone to stripping its fibre timing gears and conking out from fuel starvation when the carb got hot and had wheel arches that started rusting away within a year from new. :)Quote:
