Must be. But there's something about the 30.
I begged and pleaded with my Dad to buy a black one which was on a dealer's lot half a mile from home when he wanted to change his Ford Zodiac Executive, after it had been in an accident. This must have been about 1980/81, I suppose.
He bought a beige Triumph 2000 instead. Bah. I don't think he liked it very much though, I seem to remember him saying he'd not buy another British car again, and fancied the look of a green Opel Ascona a work colleague had just bought. Died in '83 and Mum couldn't handle the 2000. She went and bought a brand new (A reg, prefix, how fancy) Mitsubishi Colt. First "foreign" car we'd ever had (Dad considered all Fords to be British - actually, I don't know where the Zodiac Executive was built, thinking about it).
