Hey Don, or anyone else,
                                     Is there an ugly ducling or fast back in 
the U.S. if so where I would love to get some up close and personal pics of 
these models.

We were doing the London-Brighton Classic Car Run one year in a Mini Jem
and kept getting held up by one that was running just a head of us. Damn
wide they are! Not the sort of thing you want to meet in a narrow
country lane. When I was a kid we used to call them "Hamstrung
Siddeleys". There are some nice Sapphires and Star Sapphires that come
to the classic car shows in the UK.
