I grew up with only British cars.;-)

Surely they have French, German and Italian cars over there-they did
each time I was there. What freaked me out in the 70s was the Russian
cars-I saw a Zaporzhets at a dealer not far from Charing Cross in the
70s. My uncle was a John Bircher so I had a photo taken of myself in
this thing. It was very tinnily constructed and had a V4 engine that
looked like a copy of the old Wisconsin V4 industrial engine used in a
lot of road construction equipment.
