Yeah, thinking back, it was probably just a knackered battery which he was too tight to replace. I wouldn't know, I had zero interest in cars. All my money went on records and beer.
Customer of mine has one that looks like this. Never fails to start when he goes out for a run on sunny days or to enthusiasts' meets. Might be different if it had to get him to work every day.

You know, it would be easy for me to get quite jealous. Another customer has an Audi A8 (his daily commuter), in addition to a five-car garage which houses two vintage Bentleys (old enough to have running boards), a Rover P5, an "Inspector Morse" Jag, and my favourite, one of these:

My father used to drive Jaguars and Daimlers. They all had large engines and all had automatic transmission, so not very fuel economic. Fortunately he was able to write off the running costs as expenses.You know, it would be easy for me to get quite jealous. Another customer has an Audi A8 (his daily commuter), in addition to a five-car garage which houses two vintage Bentleys (old enough to have running boards), a Rover P5, an "Inspector Morse" Jag, and my favourite, one of these:
His last car was a Daimler 'Double Six' with 5.3 litre V12 engine. There was a display device which indicated fuel consumption in real time. Most of the time, on level ground, it read about 10 - 15mpg; downhill maybe 20mpg, but uphill it was down to single figures!

Yes - my father had a Daimler (similar looking to the Inspector Morse car), dark blue in colour and with wire wheels. Looked lovely - it certainly turned heads.horror story cleaning spoked wheels

Mk.IX was a bit of a lump, the later 420G was a bit better but not much (420G had the chrome strip down the sides), things got rather good when the XJ6 arrived.You know, it would be easy for me to get quite jealous.
