I like your car! There's something really special about a '68... 'Twas the first model to introduce the upright headlamps and tombstone rear lights - amongst other things.

I had one too of course so that makes me bias :lol:

Enjoy it!

Cool! That's some nice historical literature to hang on to.
I didn't have that with my '68 although I bought mine from a friend's mother which was good enough for me. She'd had it for years and carted their three boys everywhere in it. She refused to drive anything else and trust me they could afford to as her husband had a '68 Rolls Royce Silver Cloud as well as a Jag XK120 amongst many other cars. I was very privileged to have been given the option to buy it (she wouldn't even let her son have it) as she knew what they mean to me. Sadly it wasn't a very happy car when it came into my possession - I pushed it more than I drove it! I ended up having to sell in the end. It still pains me...

Anyway, back to YOURS...! It's awesome! 1500 I presume?
