In the 70's I had a '65 Oxford. The Oxford's generally had bench seats as mine did although the gears were four on the floor. Pale blue leather, dark blue paint. I loved the chrome horn ring. Plenty of chrome outside and with the paint polished too I thought it looked fantastic - still do.
It took a while to get up to speed but I soon learned how to preserve momentum. Cracking car I thought. Modern cars are too overpowered to be fun, nearly all of them.
Just looked it up - 0-60 21s. By then they had a 1600 B series. Let me tell you they pulled over when they saw that coming in the mirror.
