My first '02 was SNK500M, Inka carburettor car, sold new in Essex and driven by me around Europe 1994-1995 and sold in ~97. Next was PHM59L, a Schwarz tii, bought in Skegness... never got it back together, eventually sold the body in 1999 and kept the engine, selling that to Hong Kong in 2020. Next was DUO177L, another Schwarz tii, bought in South London I still have that with me here in Malaysia...and finally VXJ802L, a white tii, bought as a wreck from Hitchin...exported to Malaysia as a wreck and rebuilt in 2017 as an Inka me-too in memory of my first '02.

'59 Morris Minor, '67 Triumph TR4A, '68 Silver Shadow, '72 2002tii, '73 Jaguar E-Type,
