That's ok. It doesn't have to be a '75, but it has to be that model, it has to be a T-top and it has to be black. My V8 is german currently (M5 E39), but the T-top is definatly the next addition.

LHD or RHD doesn't matter. Anything drives, wheels or no wheels

1967 Daimler Majestic Major 4.5 V8, one of the fastest production saloon cars of it's day, top speed 122, 0-60 9.7 seconds, fast for then and still an easy car to drive today. Here's my one.

Exactly. You should never measure a car by todays standards. You should measure it by the standards of it's life-time. And surely it stands apart today.
