Yes the Paul Smith, the 35, and the Monte Carlo are the three special editions that have stood the test of time and are on my classic purchasing list, I shall have one eventually

All because they were true special editions and not made to drive sales in a low spot by the Rover marketing team

I guess you are right, the GP does show that they can do it right, so we could have something really nice next year. As the Parklane was nice, but we all know that was just to help with production planning as they run the old model out and so there were less individual cars being built.
