The old 100S Coupes were beautiful cars. I think they were made from the 
late 60s to the mid 70s.  They looked very like some of the Aston Martins as 
driven by James Bond.  A friend of mine in Dublin, Ireland had three of 
these in his family for a while, and another friend in Dublin had one during 
my final year at college.  They were performance cars in their day 
(something like 0 - 60 in <10s and top speed of >110 from a 1.8 I4 engine).

I saw one for sale about 10 years ago in London for about GBP1200, but I was 
too practical to buy it.  I still regret it sometimes.
